Visiting our national parks is a rich and rewarding experience. The dedication of Yellowstone National Park was just the start in 1872. Our national parks need care and support to help maintain them. These parks have become underfunded and the huge amount of traffic they receive have been causing environmental problems like pollution and climate change.
Patricia Shultz, internationally know author of 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, is joining forces with Nature Valley to help support the funding and bring attention to our beautiful National Parks.
Here in Michigan We have National Memorials, National Parks, National Historical Park, National Scenic Trail, National Lakes Shore and quite frankly they are all names used for National Parks. I’m reading the list and and I’ve been to them all. At the time though I thought they were state parks (woe is me eh?).
I really want these beauties of nature pereserved for my kids and their families to visit at some time. I remember climbing and rolling down into the water at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. That is almost a full post on itself. Pictured Rocks is a Northern Michigan beauty unlike any other. The only place I have been able to compare it to is Niagra Falls but of course the Falls are much larger.
Shamefully I haven’t taken my kids to most of these but Nature Valley has reminded me that these amazing places are best visited with friends and family and make memories of a life time. We enjoy hiking, fishing, and cooking out as a family and these reserves are waiting for us.
This to me falls under a giveawaway and blogging for a cause. I love our area and Northern Michigan. I see the effects of high tourism and lack of money the parks are going through and it makes me sad that my grandchildren may one day want to visit and these parks will be gone.

Nearest to me is Mt Ranier National Park and it’s been a while since I’ve been. If we don’t take care of them they’ll be gone
Fort Necessity.. it has a lovely park there, yes I’ve been to it and we should care because it’s our heritage

Closest National Park to me is the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois…I have been their many times.
It is especially beautiful in the spring.
We should care because they provide wonderful habitats for animals and they preserve our national heritage.

Thanks for the giveaway…less than 200 miles away, the Grand Canyon is one of my favorite National Parks: a recent report says it is threatened by pollution from coal power plants in the region as well as mining runoff that could impact the water, and chartered airplane and helicopter flights over the park are affecting the park as well.

The nearest one to me is the Grand Canyon and I went as a child.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the one nearest me. I haven’t visited any. We should care about preserving them for their history and for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
i have visited Yosemite and Sequoia and would like the parks to be taken care of because they are truly beautiful and I want them to stay that way.
