On this day 109 years ago, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act that created the National Park Service. The National Park System is one of the nation's most valuable cultural assets, protecting more than 400 unique places across the country. For over a century, the NPS has preserved our most iconic landscapes and historic sites for everyone to enjoy.

However, after 109 years, our parks are showing their age. With an estimated $23 billion deferred maintenance backlog and inconsistent public funding, the places we love are at risk.

This birthday, let's give our parks the gift they deserve: a strong future. The bipartisan America the Beautiful Act (S.1547) would invest $2 billion annually for eight years to preserve our national parks, public lands, historic landmarks, and their historic sites for future generations.

Add your voice today: Ask your Senators to support S.1547 and ensure our parks thrive for the next 100 years.
