"National Park Service Celebrates 100th Anniversary"

"The National Park Service is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year. A century ago, the Park Service was created with the mission of protecting and preserving some of the most awe-inspiring places in the country. And at the same time, its mission is to help people who visit those places enjoy them, and that's not always an easy balance."

Nathan Rott reports for NPR April 25, 2016.
