In 1974, not long after the death of his wife and daughter, then-Senator Joe Biden took his sons camping in Yellowstone National Park. Like so many Americans, he hoped the park trip would help his family heal, and bring them closer together. It did.

The President’s Park Story

Decades ago, Joe Biden found solace in Yellowstone as a young senator. Can he use our parks to bring Americans together now?

Like many of you, we're appalled. NPCA condemns the unprovoked & aggressive actions of U.S. Park Police on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park. Parks must continue to be safe spaces for protesters exercising constitutional rights. We demand answers.

Parks Group Demands Answers to Park Police’s Unprovoked and Aggressive Actions Against Peaceful...

We are appalled by this injustice and demand answers on behalf of all the protesters involved, and all Americans.

BREAKING: Today's executive order pauses new oil & gas leasing on public lands and commits the U.S. to #Protect30x30 . Climate change disproportionately impacts national parks & nearby communities -- this is a critical step to protect them. #ActOnClimate

National Parks Will Benefit from Biden Administration’s Public Lands Oil and Gas Moratorium

Executive order will stop the reckless four-year fire sale of public lands to polluters that damage parks and drive climate change.
