AI Summary

This resolution designates the week of April 19 through April 27, 2025, as "National Park Week" while highlighting the historical and cultural significance of the National Park System. The resolution provides context by noting that Yellowstone was established as the first national park in 1872 and the National Park Service was created in 1916 with a mission to preserve natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. It emphasizes that national parks exist in every state and territory, representing the United States' rich heritage and offering opportunities for recreation, education, and civic engagement. The resolution also points out the economic impact of national parks, which attracted nearly 332 million visitors in 2024 and contributed $55.6 billion to the national economy in 2023. By passing this resolution, the Senate aims to encourage people in the United States and around the world to visit, experience, and support national parks responsibly, recognizing the dedicated work of National Park Service employees in protecting these unique and valuable landscapes.
