The United States has followed California’s lead by massively expanding its penal system and radically dismantling its welfare system. The country currently incarcerates not only more people, but also a greater percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. During this same period, increasing numbers of artists have intervened in the spaces between the U.S. prison and welfare systems. San Francisco has served as a crucible for these endeavors, which constitute a defining feature of the emerging field of community-based performance.

  • 1 Testimony of Will Shafroth President & Ceo, National
    TESTIMONY OF WILL SHAFROTH PRESIDENT & CEO, NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION Before the Subcommittee on National Parks U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources September 27, 2017 On “Encouraging the Next Generation to Visit National Parks” Chairman Daines, Ranking Member Hirono, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for holding this hearing on Encouraging the Next Generation to Visit National Parks and inviting me to testify. My name is Will Shafroth and I am the President & CEO of the National Park Foundation, the Congressionally-chartered philanthropic partner of the National Park Service. Chartered by Congress in 1967, the National Park Foundation was founded on a legacy that began more than a century ago, when private citizens from all walks of life acted to establish and protect our national parks. Today, the National Park Foundation carries on that tradition as the only national charitable nonprofit whose sole mission is to directly support the National Park Service. As you know, 2016 was the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. The National Park Service and National Park Foundation worked together hand in hand to take advantage of this ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to bring Americans of all ages, races, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and political affiliations together to celebrate the Centennial and look forward to the second century of our national parks. Part of that effort is the Find Your Park / Encuentra Tu Parque public education and engagement campaign (FindYourPark.com / Encuentra Tu Parque.com), which was designed to inspire all Americans to connect with, enjoy, and support America’s national parks.

  • The National Park System
    January 2009 Parks and Recreation in the United States The National Park System Margaret Walls BACKGROUNDER 1616 P St. NW Washington, DC 20036 202-328-5000 www.rff.org Resources for the Future Walls Parks and Recreation in the United States: The National Park System Margaret Walls∗ Introduction The National Park Service, a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior, is responsible for managing 391 sites—including national monuments, national recreation areas, national rivers, national parks, various types of historic sites, and other categories of protected lands—that cover 84 million acres. Some of the sites, such as Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon, are viewed as iconic symbols of America. But the National Park Service also manages a number of small historical sites, military parks, scenic parkways, the National Mall in Washington, DC, and a variety of other protected locations. In this backgrounder, we provide a brief history of the Park Service, show trends in land acreage managed by the bureau and visitation at National Park Service sites over time, show funding trends, and present the challenges and issues facing the Park Service today. History National parks were created before there was a National Park Service. President Ulysses S. Grant first set aside land for a “public park” in 1872 with the founding of Yellowstone. Yosemite, General Grant (now part of Kings Canyon), and Sequoia National Parks in California were created in 1890, and nine years later Mount Rainier National Park was set aside in Washington. With passage of the Antiquities Act in 1906, the President was granted authority to declare historic landmarks, historic and prehistoric structures, and sites of scientific interest as national monuments.

Those and other icons of the National Park System are undeniably spectacular, and to experience their wonders is well worth braving the crowds they inevitably draw. But lest you think the big names are the whole story, consider that the vast park network also boasts plenty of less well-known destinations that are beautiful, historic, or culturally significant—or all of the above. Some of these gems are off the beaten track, others are slowly rising to prominence, and a few are simply overshadowed by bigger, better-publicized parks. But these national parks, monuments, historic places, and recreation areas are overlooked by many, and that’s a mistake you won’t want to make. nobodthe places y knows For every Yosemite, there’s a lesser-known park where the scenery shines and surprises.
