Recreation Management

USA.gov is an online guide to government information and services. Its mission is to create and organize timely, needed government information and services and make them accessible anytime, anywhere.

Since 1916, the National Park Service has been entrusted with the care of our national parks. With the help of volunteers and partners, we safeguard these special places and share their stories with more than 275 million visitors every year. But our work doesn't stop there.

The U.S. Department of the Interior uses sound science to manage and sustain America’s lands, water, wildlife, and energy resources, honors our nation’s responsibilities to tribal nations, and advocates for America’s island communities. As keepers of our nation’s legacy, we manage the resources in our care to benefit Americans now and in the future. Under the leadership of Secretary Sally Jewell, our department and its employees are developing and implementing the cutting-edge science and expert management techniques that make this possible. We are also taking actions to help America transform the challenges it faces today into opportunities for tomorrow.
