Wasserman Schultz Statement on 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service

Washington, DC, August 25, 2016
Today I join millions of people in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, the natural beauty of every corner of nation, and in particular, the Florida Everglades. The National Park Service helps protect and preserve some of our nation's most irreplaceable treasures, and they ensure families, students and citizens can learn about our ecosystems. Even more importantly, through their education and advocacy, they help safeguard these treasures for future generations.

Wasserman Schultz Statement on 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service

Pembroke Pines, FL – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service:

“Today I join millions of people in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, the natural beauty of every corner of nation, and in particular, the Florida Everglades. The National Park Service helps protect and preserve some of our nation’s most irreplaceable treasures, and they ensure families, students and citizens can learn about our ecosystems. Even more importantly, through their education and advocacy, they help safeguard these treasures for future generations.

“As a mother who has taken her children on countless trips to national parks across our country, I know firsthand how important the NPS is to every American family. As a Floridian, this anniversary also carries special meaning to me because of the critical role that the Everglades play in our state’s daily life and natural beauty.”
