Some places are so beautiful or so important in the history of the United States that the na?tional government has set them aside to protect them. They are cared for so that everyone now and in the years to come can enjoy them.

 Ranking at the top of these places are the national parks. There are also historical parks and sites, national monuments, military parks, battlefield sites, national, cemeteries, memorials, parkways, and state parks. All together they make up the national park system of the United States. They are managed by the national park service.

 The oldest of the national parks is Yellowstone. It was made a park in 1872. Now the Unit?ed States has more than 30 national parks. But Yellowstone is still the largest with over two mil?lion acres.

 The government hires many workers to take care of the parks. There are scientists who know a great deal about wildlife. They see to it that the animals of the parks can roam around arid live as they naturally would. There are scientists who know a lot about insects and diseases that might harm the trees and wild flowers. There are scientists who know a great deal about the rocks of the region. There are rangers who see to it that the visitors follow the park rules.

 The national parks are wonderful playgrounds. There are places for campers. And there are cabins to rent and lodges with dining rooms where visitors may stay as they do in a hotel. In ad?dition,there are wonderful opportunities for hiking, taking boat trips, fishing, swimming, ex?ploring the wilderness, and even climbing mountains.

 The parks,however, are more than just interesting and beautiful. They have been called the biggest summer schools in the world. In each park there are scientist guides to explain to the visitors what they are seeing. There are museums, too,with exhibits to show visitors how the regions came to be as they are. Every year millions of visitors go to the national parks.
