We've found an Internet address for over 95% of al the State and
National Parks, and most state forests and wildlife areas, and
we're adding address and contact information daily. We're working
to add more statue and national Forests, Preserves, and Wildlife
Management information (and other federal lands, like BLM and Corps of
Engineers) Details for each park remain in the future. If
you know about a property, we'll consider adding your description of up
to 50 words. We're unable to pay for this, but will gladly give
authorship credit. Just drop us an e-mail. And please, we always
want to know if we've provided incorrect information, so let us know.. |
