At Risk (NAPS)?America's national system of parks is in danger, according to a report just released by the National Park Trust. 1 l To protect our national parks, citizens need to ask the government to purchase the private lands being held inside national parks. This report, based on public documents from the National Park Service, shows that 200,000 of the total 6 million acres of privately-held land within the boundaries of our parks are in danger of being lost to development or sale and neither federal nor state park agencies can do much to protect it. "The danger that this land could be sold for development, bulldozing, clear cutting or for other destructive purposes constitutes the single greatest threat to the nation's cherished system of national and state parks," said Paul Pritchard, president of the National Park TYust (NPT). The NPT is the only land conservancy dedicated to preserving America's national system of parks, wildlife and historic monuments. By helping fund park land purchasing by environmental groups and encouraging the government to buy land inside its parks as well, Americans can be part of the solution. For a free copy of a report, "Saving the Legacy of the National System of Parks," write to Susan Hawley, National Park Trust, 415 2nd Street, NE, Suite 2310, Washington, D.C: 20002; call 202-5480500; or see www.parktrust.org.
