I was recently reading the May/June 2024 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the "Right to the Source" section written by Danna Bell. This section included an article entitled, "See America and Its National Parks."

Today over 300 million people annually visit the 429 individual designated properties that are managed by the National Park Service, covering 85 million acres in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories.
