Investing in Ecosystems
The National Park Service protects wildlife and native plant habitats, builds spaces for recreation and reflection, and preserves memorials to our nation’s history.
What are we investing in?
We are investing in the long-term environmental health of national parks for people and wildlife. Projects made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act are building climate resilience, addressing climate change impacts, and restoring healthy lands and waters at parks and in surrounding communities across the country. The projects have created jobs and support for local economies.
