In August 2011 the National Park Service (NPS) launched A Call to Action: Preparing for a Second Century of Stewardship and Engagement, a long-term strategy that marries the fundamental mission of the Service with short- and long-term resource stewardship. The Service has worked tirelessly to preserve parks since its establishment in 1916, but today’s challenges require a new, cooperative strategy that takes advantage of state-of-the-art tools and technology. The strategic plan defines a vision for NPS preservation, conservation, and restoration and identifies actions that advance the Service toward that shared vision.
