What is a National Park?
National Parks are places that represent America’s beauty, wildlife, history and people. They also represent our heritage. They protect fragile or unique ecosystems, wildlife habitat, human-made or natural structures, waterways, and riparian zones. Each park has one or more of these features, which is why it is protected. Students will work in teams to create their very own National Park using arts and crafts materials, recycled items, or even the natural envrionment itself.
