This Senate resolution formally designates the week of April 19-27, 2025, as "National Park Week" and encourages Americans and international visitors to responsibly visit and support the nation's national parks. The resolution is a ceremonial measure that recognizes the importance of the National Park System, which spans all 50 states and many U.S. territories, protecting natural landscapes, historical sites, and cultural resources. The legislation notes that national parks attracted nearly 332 million recreational visits in 2024 and contributed $55.6 billion to the U.S. economy in 2023, highlighting their significant economic impact. The resolution affects all Americans by promoting awareness of national parks and encouraging visitation during the designated week. This is a non-binding resolution that requires no funding and simply establishes an official recognition period to celebrate the National Park Service's mission of preserving America's natural and cultural heritage.
