Read the excerpt from “Natural Beauty at Risk.” When most of us think of National Parks, we think of open spaces and healthy, abundant vegetation. We think of forests and woodlands and meadows and wildflowers—all preserved from development. We think of scenic vistas that inspire poets and artists and millions of everyday citizens. These lands are set aside, as Theodore Roosevelt put it, to preserve “the value of natural beauty as a national asset,” and to promote “outdoor life and recreation in the production of good citizenship.”
