The National Park Service
The National Park Service (NPS) is the U.S. federal agency that manages all national parks, monuments, and many conservation and historical properties.  

The mission of the National Park Service is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.

Our national parks are a particular point of pride in Alaska, and the NPS does a great deal to ensure that they are both accessible and enjoyable for visitors and residents.
