This is every National Park Designation, explained.
After the New River Gorge designation change, I became really interested in the different units of the National Park Service and what each designation meant. So, I looked into it. And started an entire Youtube channel to help people learn about it.
In this video, I explain each of the 19 different designations in the National Park System, what they protect, and how they are managed.
If you'd like to delve into each of these even deeper, this report from the Congressional Research Service is an excellent resource: everycrsreport.com/reports/R41816.html#:~:text=In%20so%20doing%2C%20Congress%20establishes,national%20battlefield%2C%20and%20many%20others.
