My Park Story

The National Mall, Washington DC
- cared for by the National Park Service

The National Parks Conservation Association, which is the voice of the parks, has set up a new web page to gather personal stories about the parks.

Do you have childhood memories of visiting National Parks? Teenage adventures? Did you discover an unexpected story in a park near your home?

Did you fight a fire? Help rescue flooded artifacts? Paint your best picture? Take that stunning photograph that still graces your living room?

You can contribute your story at: myparkstory.org

Turn your special moments into virtual postcards to share with others and with legislators, to let them know that these memories matter. These places matter. These are the Treasures On Your Doorstep!
