National Park Service deserves more support

Re “Parks vs. profits,” editorial, Nov. 3
National parks shelter spectacular examples of natural and cultural history. Diverse landscapes, such as the red rock canyons of Zion and the alpine lakes of Glacier Park, offer myriad opportunities for recreation and study. Misguided efforts by Deputy Assistant Interior Secretary Paul Hoffman and Rep. Richard Pombo (R-Tracy) to change the National Park Service’s management policies and to jettison park units countermand public opinion and defy common sense. The National Park Service remains cogent and visionary. Through the protection of unique lands, it recognizes the importance of a shared American heritage. Increased federal financial support, not divestment, is required so future generations can continue to enjoy these national treasures.
