Northeast Region: 2017
Transcript
Hi, I’m Gay Vietzke, regional director of the National Park Service’s Northeast Region. I’m standing in front of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts. In 1917, our 35th president was born in this house. In 2017 we celebrated the centennial of President Kennedy’s birth here. This wonderful site is one of 83 national park sites in the region that runs from Maine to Virginia. The Northeast Region also manages programs that help local communities to preserve special places and share their stories through the region’s many national landmarks, wild and scenic rivers, national trails and national heritage areas.
In 2017, the National Park Service celebrated its 101st birthday. We’re one year older than President Kennedy. This year, the Parks 101 campaign helped visitors find new parks and rediscover more familiar places. That’s what you’ll see in our 2017 annual report: new audiences, new places, new experiences, new ways to have fun. You’ll also see the dedication of our region’s 3,000 employees, plus the hard work of partners, volunteers and supporters like you.
National parks belong to us all. So let’s enjoy them, and find your park!
