This Joint Resolution formally recognizes and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service (NPS) on August 25, 2016, acknowledging its crucial role in preserving America's natural and cultural heritage for future generations. The NPS, established by the "National Park Service Organic Act" in 1916, manages a vast system of 410 units across the nation, including national parks, monuments, and historical sites, and has significantly contributed to New Jersey's preservation efforts through various programs and grants. The resolution encourages New Jersey residents and visitors to explore the state's National Park System sites and authorizes the Governor to issue a proclamation for public observance, with copies of the resolution to be sent to federal officials, including the Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the National Park Service.
