National Park Quotes

It’s the one species I wouldn’t mind seeing vanish from the face of the earth. I wish they were like the White Rhinosix of them left in the Serengeti National Park, and all males Picture Quote #1

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began Picture Quote #1

If you drive to, say, Shenandoah National Park, or the Great Smoky Mountains, you’ll get some appreciation for the scale and beauty of the outdoors. When you walk into it, then you see it in a completely different way. You discover it in a much slower, more majestic sort of way Picture Quote #1

I have family in Tanzania. I can’t even explain the joy of riding through the Tanzania national park and seeing giraffes run across the road and elephants over in a pond and baboons running Picture Quote #1

My relationship with the mountains actually started when I was 16. Every year, a group used to be taken from Auckland Grammar down to the Tangariro National Park for a skiing holiday Picture Quote #1

The national park idea has been nurtured by each succeeding generation of Americans. Today, across our land, the National Park System represents America at its best. Each park contributes to a deeper understanding of the history of the United States and our way of life; of the natural processes which have given form to our land, and to the enrichment of the environment in which we live Picture Quote #1

For it is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than is Disneyland Picture Quote #1

Television was supposed to be a national park. (Instead) it has become a money machine... It’s a commodity now, just like pork bellies Picture Quote #1

So when people go to the park this summer, they are not going to have the same quality of a visit. There is not going to be a ranger out on the trail to tell them about the important cultural and historic areas within the Olympic National Park Picture Quote #1

In fact, at Olympic National Park in my district, they 3 years ago had 130 summer employees they brought in for temporary work. This summer they have 25 because they cannot afford more Picture Quote #1

National parks, zoos, protected areas, polluted seas - using the whole world as a readymade, I thought about it as a stage set. To activate a stage set you need a drama, an actor to offset it Picture Quote #1

Shutting down national parks is an injustice to those of us hoping to avoid people who like to go camping Picture Quote #1

Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong Picture Quote #1

Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures Picture Quote #1

We have a certain group of people in this country that seem to want to lock up our national treasures, our national parks, and cherished places and keep the public from enjoying them Picture Quote #1

Another example of that was that even during the economic problems of the 1945 government, we managed to carry out other aspects of our policy and other ideals. Through the establishment of national parks, for instance Picture Quote #1

The national parklands have a major role in providing superlative opportunities for outdoor recreation, but they have other people serving values. They can provide an experience in conservation education for the young people of the country; they can enrich our literary and artistic consciousness; they can help create social values; contribute to our civic consciousness; remind us of our debt to the land of our fathers Picture Quote #1

Although biodiversity loss continues globally, many countries are significantly slowing the rate of loss by shoring up protected natural areas and the services they provide, and in expanding national park systems with tighter management and more secure funding Picture Quote #1

He was skinning a bear. I was terrified at first, because the corpse resembled a naked man quartered between two trees. He’d created a deadfall trap over some big talus blocks and the bear had fallen in. He used the skin for something and jerked the meat. If it wasn’t astonishing enough behavior in a national park, the next day he made donuts, using bear fat for grease! Surely, by now, he’s created an empire somewhere in the world Picture Quote #1

The scenic ideals that surround even our national parks are carriers of a nostalgia for heavenly bliss and eternal calmness Picture Quote #1

If the national park is, as Lord Bryce suggested, the best idea America has ever had, wilderness preservation is the highest refinement of that idea Picture Quote #1

National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst Picture Quote #1
