  2. Favorite Parks Imagine never being able to see any of this again

  3. Influential People • John Muir • One of the first contributor to conserving national parks • Theodore Roosevelt • President that created the most National Parks and Monuments • Stephen Mather • Crusaded to create a National Park system where the parks worked together instead of separate parks working on their own

  4. Important Dates • October 1, 1890 Yosemite National park is created • March 2, 1899 Mount Rainier first park created from National forest • January 11, 1908 Roosevelt declares Grand Canyon a National Monument • 1926 Congress creates Great Smokey Mountains National Park • 1955 Mission 66 created to help revamp parks

  5. Lost Dutchman • Fought over for many years • Had lots of GOLD AU • Jacob Walz created a fake map to lead people away from where the gold really was. • The map is still sold today

  6. Lost Dutchman how it came to be • Started out as flat • Shield Volcanos were formed • Dacite domes • Au weather out of the granite

  7. Lost Dutchman Why important • A look into history • Preserves natural habitat • Protects animals • Provides jobs for many • Provides a place to get back to nature

  8. Kenai Fjords National Park • December 1, 1978 President Jimmy Carter used Antiquities Act to protect the Fjords • The town of Seward closest to the land hated it because it took away their main source of income • December 2, 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act becomes law • 5 years later Seward is asking for the park to be expanded • Glaciers

  9. Kenai Fjords National Park • Shoreline and Glaciers • Ocean water now fills long, steep sided, glacier carved valleys • Subduction zone is causes the Kenai Mountains to slip into the sea • Many animals make this their home and spawning area • The combination of both Shoreline and Glaciers makes this a unique habitat for animals that I would kill to study

  10. Kenai Fjords National Park If I could stand the cold I would live here

  11. John Muir • Founded the Sierria club • Helped Roosevelt start the movement to start National parks • The reason why we have Yosemite

  12. John Muir We have all these beautiful parks because of John Muir

  13. What is the value of State and National Parks? • The value of State and National Parks are limitless. Without them a number of animals and plants would be extinct. Many small towns would have died. For me the most important value is that I wouldn’t be able to see Nature they way it was 100 years ago.
