Greetings!
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."
- John Muir
While we all know the critical importance of local parks to our communities, we would like to take a moment to spotlight the reopening of our majestic national parks. From the creation of Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks to President Theodore Roosevelt's push to expand and secure public lands, national parks are a monument to the beauty of nature that Americans people can enjoy.
Ken Burns created a magnificent series called
The National Parks: America's Best Idea. I highly recommend you watch it, and the first two episodes are available
here for free. It's a brilliantly told story about some of the nation's most special places.
