  • Renewable Energy in the National Park Service
    RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INTRODUCTION The National Park Service is the steward of some of the world’s finest natural and cultural resources and is regarded by many people as the premier resource conservation agency in the United States if not the world. The mission of the National Park Service is clearly defined in the organic act of 1916. to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such a manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. This strong mandate and policy direction has always emphasized protecting and conserving this country’s cultural and natural resources while providing the visiting public with opportunities to learn about these resources. When the National Park Service celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1991, it charted a course for how it would accomplish its mission into the next century. The resulting vision document titled National Parks for the 21st Century: The Vail Agenda, provides strategic objectives and directions for the future management of the National Park Service. Incorporating sustainability and sustainable design was recommended in The Vail Agenda as one method of meeting challenges that currently face the National Park Service. The Park Service defines sustainable design as a design that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Many people feel this definition bears a striking resemblance to the organic act – the founding legislation for the National Park Service.
