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.
