    America’s national parks are like old friends. You may not see them for years, but just knowing they’re out there makes you feel better. Hearing the names of these famous old friends ---Yellowstone and Grand Canyon --- revives memories of past visits and promotes dreams of those still to come.

   Ancient fossil beds, Revolutionary War battlefields, mountain ranges, and monuments to heroic men and women who influenced this country are all a part of our National Park System (NPS). The care and preservation for future generations of these special places is entrusted to the National Park Service. Uniformed Rangers, the most visible representatives of the Service, not only offer park visitors a friendly wave, a helpful answer, or a history lesson, but also are rescuers, firefighters, and resource protection professionals. The National Park Service ranks also include historians, biologists and other experts who preserve and protect everything.

   Modern society has brought the National Park Service both challenges and opportunities. Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the educational possibilities of a national park. Cities are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their cultural heritage, and are also working with the NPS to turn abandoned railroad tracks into bike and hiking trails.

To help meet these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities, the National Park Service had formed partnerships --- some dating back 100 years, some only months old --- with other agencies, state and local governments, community groups and individuals who share the National Park ethic.
