National Parks Conservation Association: A Century of Impact Hardcover – October 28, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
From its founding by the same visionaries who helped to create the National Park Service to present-day battles to protect our public lands, the National Parks Conservation Association has been the independent, non-partisan protector of America's favorite places. A Century of Impact presents this admirable legacy through richly illustrated tales of an impassioned organization in action -- fighting off threats to park lands, water, air and wildlife, and advocating for a park system that tells a more complete American story.
Readers will enjoy fascinating and often untold tales of park protection -- such as saving Olympic's old-growth forests from WWII lumber production; restoring the endangered Florida panther in the greater Everglades ecosystem; keeping the nation's largest landfill from the doorstep of Joshua Tree; defeating a proposed casino sited within cannon range of the hallowed ground of Gettysburg -- and an inside look at how persistent advocacy led to the creation of parks from Great Basin and Tallgrass Prairie to Pullman, Stonewall and Birmingham.
With A Century of Impact, readers are invited to join NPCA's centennial celebration and discover how this humble organization has helped to shape the National Park System as we know it. More than that, it is a compelling reminder that the future of this nation's most sacred spaces lies in the hands of ordinary citizens, united to ensure that America's best idea endures for generations to come.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020There are a lot of books out there about the national parks, this one was done by the National Parks Conservation Association for their 100 year anniversary, so they know their stuff. A perfect blend of text and wonderful photography. Much of the book has to do with the history of the NPCA and the challenges they had to overcome, so you will learn a lot and gain a greater appreciation of the NPCA. If you are just looking for a picture book without the history, this is not the book for you. Highly enjoyable. A collector's item. A big, coffee table type book. Two minor issues, though. Some of the photos are only identified in the back of the book, it would have been nice if all photos were identified on each page. Also, the book was printed in China. A book about the iconic national parks of the USA should be printed in the USA.
