Call To Action |
| In-holdings
are privately held land still in the boudaries of national
and state parks. They represent not just an oversight, but
a major disgrace for our country. This land is vulnerable
to development such as resorts or subdivisions.
In-holdings are the core threat to existing units of our
national system of parks. The National Park Trust is
actively involved in finding ways to acquire in-holdings
for preservation in the national park system. With 7
million acres still privately owned, the challenge is
daunting. The National Park Trust funds available to
national and state park directors are slowly reducing such
in-holdings, but we still need your help. If you would
like to participate in your favorite park or contribute,
please contact the National Park
Trust. We will be sure
that your concern is represented as we fight this most
significant threat. |
