More than one hundred years ago America invented the national park idea with the designation of Yellowstone as the first national park. Guided by that founding idea, this National Park Second Century Commission will examine the role of the national parks today and articulate a bold vision of a future where national parks continue to enrich and ennoble this nation and its citizens.

The Commission Process

Through five meetings at National Parks, seven
working groups, public testimony and extensive public
comment, the Commission will gather a broad range
of information and perspectives to develop a report
with recommendations for release in the Fall of 2009.
