- | Parks 'for the benefit and enjoyment of the people' | ||
- | "The important historical significance of this is due to the fact that the idea was vigorously developed and translated into reality by the creation by Congress in 1872 of the Yellowstone National Park, an area of over two million acres .. the first National Park in the world." | ||
- | In the eighty years that have elapsed since 1872, the world has toyed with the concept of National Parks and numerous countries have made various attempts, enlightened and otherwise, to follow the American lead. 0-eneral1y, failures have been due to a lack of understanding of What a National Park should attempt to do... or else steps to dedicate lands to the people were taken too late! | ||
- | In its report On " | ||
- | although it certainly contains some important observations; | ||
- | open-air recreation for the people" | ||
- | the latter is interpreted would mean Sports and Playing Fields, and the destruction of naturalness to provide so-called develop- | ||
- | ments and: | ||
- | So we want a scheme "for the protection of landscape beauty and | ||
- | the encouragement of open-air recreation in wild and unspoilt country which would be a great national investment yielding unlimited returns in health and happiness, in opportunities for the enjoyment of country pursuits and interests and in new growth of understanding between town and country." | ||
