The National Park Service is Turning 100 And You’re Invited

Big birthdays can be tough to plan, from deciding how to have fun and satisfy competing friend groups, to crafting party invitations that tactfully say, 'No, I am not too old for presents.' But the National Park Service, which will celebrate its centennial on August 25, knows there’s only one way to ensure a flawless birthday bash: don’t leave anyone out. Which is why, starting on April 16, the bureau is partnering with the National Park Foundation to host National Parks Week, when every national park will be open to the public, free of charge. The celebration, which will continue through April 24, is America's largest celebration of national heritage.  http://sierraclub.org/sierra/2016-2-march-april/green-life/national-park-service-turning-100-and-you-re-invited?suppress=true&utm_source=greenlife&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
