“Today, four years into its second century, the National Park Service is stumbling forward into a new era, without a plan, a leader or, most importantly, a vision for how to both protect and enhance what is often called America’s best idea.
The agency has just received one of the greatest infusions of funds in its history, following passage of the Great American Outdoor Act, but the Park Service is unable to present Congress with a plan for these funds. Nor has the agency been able to articulate the goals for what it hopes to achieve with this new stream of revenue.”
