Hoover Park seeks input July 8
News · July 02, 2015
As part of the National Park Service’s effort to mark its 100th anniversary, the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site will host a listening session 5:30 p.m. July 8 at the Visitor Center.
The federal bureau which manages over 400 national parks across the United States, like the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty, will turn 100 years old in 2016. This year the National Park Service launched its “Find Your Park” campaign which begins a two year celebration commemorating its first 100 years of preservation and service to the public.
“The National Park Service has been a successful model of natural and cultural preservation during its first 100 years,” Hoover Superintendent Pete Swisher said. “Now it’s time to think about the next 100 years and how we can continue to connect to our public audiences.”
Swisher wants to hear ideas on which activities would best renew the American people’s sense of ownership and interest in their national parks. The public listening session begins with an open house to view the permanent exhibits installed in 2014.
“Then it is your turn to provide your thoughts on appropriate activities or areas of emphasis you believe best connects with you,” Swisher said. “The park will use this public input to plan its programming for 2016 and beyond.”
