About AFPA
America’s national parks belong to us. We, the American people, fund these parks with our tax dollars. We care for them with our voices, our votes, and our visits. And we have every right to expect the highest standards from the people and officials entrusted to manage them.
At Americans for Park Accountability, we expect transparency from federal and state agencies. We advocate for responsible behavior from business operators. We encourage visitors to act in ways that respect nature and the environment.
This is not just about preservation — it’s about accountability. Because love for our parks means holding all to the highest possible standard.
