Greetings from Theodore Roosevelt National Park

I have been visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park for over 30 years. Most years twice a summer. I, like so many others, look forward the most to sighting the wild horses. Now I hear that they are considering removing wild horses from the park — permanently. If this is done there will no longer be a reason to visit that park. This would be a Huge mistake!

Sincerely,
Renee

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Long before Theodore Roosevelt became America’s 26th president, he spent years as a rancher in the rugged lands preserved by this national park.

State(s): North Dakota

Established: 1947

“I believed that all the resident species would be protected there. I did not expect that the National Parks would play God and consider eliminating some just because they can.”

National parks represent the best of America. Why do you care about protecting and preserving them? Tell us why parks matter to you!
