I am writing to ask you to fully fund our National Parks. The National Park Service is only a tiny slice of our federal budget — less than one-fifteenth of one percent — yet delivers significant economic benefits, with more than $15 in economic activity generated for each dollar invested. While the popularity of national parks has skyrocketed over the years, staffing and funding levels have not. The Park Service is already chronically underfunded and is now facing a staffing crisis. The parks provide both critical recreation and educational opportunities for families, as well as saving vital ecosystems. National parks are visited over 330 million times a year, 5 times more than Disney World. Our National Park Sustem is our greatest treasure and deserves to be protected and fully funded.
