What kinds of plants live there?
There are many kinds of beautiful wildflowers in
the park. There are more than 100 kinds of trees including evergreen and
hardwood trees.
Why should we preserve the park?
When the settlers came they cut down most of the
trees and killed lots of the wildlife. There is no logging or hunting allowed
in the park because it was made a national park in 1934.
Who takes care of America’s most beautiful lands?
If you went to a national park you would be greeted
by a park ranger. They would give you a folder and tell you the rules.
For example, you would be asked not to feed the park animals or disturb
their habitats. The park ranger will answer any question you have
drawing from years of experience and studying about the park. The
park ranger can tell you about the whole national park from its history
to its famous landmarks to its most abundant plants and animals or endangered
species. They talk a lot and need to like people. They save
peoples lives. I like park rangers.
