Thank you for being a part of the National Park Service's 100th birthday celebration in 2016!

The NPS Centennial engaged new audiences and partners, invited everyone to Find Your Park and Encuentra Tu Parque, and strengthened our collaborative stewardship work.

Our next century journey is underway! Join us as we build on the momentum of the centennial—visit, volunteer, join one of our nonprofit partners, or consider an NPS career. Share your incredible park and public lands experiences with each other and with us using #FindYourPark and #EncuentraTuParque in your social media posts!

We look forward to a new century of protecting and enjoying America’s remarkable places with you!
