WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of the 90th anniversary of the National Park Service and in response to the call to action issued today by the President and Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to enhance our Parks for the Centennial and beyond, the National Park Foundation, the national charitable partner, affirmed that private citizens and philanthropy have always played an important role in our National Park System and will continue to be vital in securing its future. This legacy of philanthropy and stewardship is the basis of the charter of the National Park Foundation and the central idea behind the very creation of the first National Park more than a hundred years ago."
