USA (DC) National Park Service - Experience Your America

Site gouvernemental National Park Service. Un réseau de près de 400 parcs naturels (natural parks), à vocation culturelle et récréationnelle à travers la nation américaine. Ce système de gestion - la première au monde - permet de préserver, protéger et partager les legs de ce pays. Par le décrêt du 1er mars 1872, le Congrès donne au Parc de Yellostone, situé dans les territoires du Montana et du Wyoming son statut de Parc Public ou Base de Loisirs au bénéfice de la population. La Fondation du Yellowtone National Park lance le mouvement mondial pour le concept de Parc National. De nos jours, plus de 100 nations protègent quelques 1.200 parcs ou réserves équivalentes.
Le National Park Service a été créé par une loi du Congrès des États-Unis signée par le Président Woodrow Wilson le 25 août 1916.  Les parcs nationaux américains recouvrent 391 régions sur près de 34 millions d’hectares dans tous les États (en dehors du Delaware), ainsi que dans le District of Columbia, les Samoas américaines, les îles de Guam, Porto Rico et les îles Vierges.
Ces régions comportent parcs nationaux, monuments, champs de bataille, parcs militaires, parcs historiques, sites historiques, rives de lacs, zones de loisirs, parcours découvertes sur rivières et sentiers de randonnées, ainsi que la Maison Blanche.
