Our Mission: To protect and enhance America's National Parks for present and future generations.

NPCA has for nearly 90 years been an advocate for our National Park System. When the park system was created nearly 100 years ago in 1916, the first Park Service director, Stephen Mather, saw the need for a voice outside of government, uninfluenced by political forces, that could advocate for the national parks and ensure that these special places would be protected for generations here today and those who would come later. NPCA believes national parklands should be protected, just as their establishing legislation stipulates...unimpaired for the enjoyment of our children and granchildren.

Today, we have grown to include more than 140 employees, 23 regional and field offices around the country, and more than 325,000 members.
