Protect the Grand Canyon…and All our National Parks!

I love trees and when in combination with a beautiful canyon all is wonderful. I want to see them together!

I hope many of us understand the importance of protecting our national parks, outdoor spaces, and even our local greenways whether we are using them for hiking, bicycling, bird-watching or relaxation of any sort!

I am forever thankful to our predecessors who had the foresight to set land aside to be protected. Now if we can keep them protected, future generations will enjoy what we have been able to enjoy yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Isn’t it the best when viewing wildlife while one walks through their territory. I like visiting their home and do not want to scare them away!
