I was browsing the National Park Foundation's website and came across the appended "Insider Opinion" survey. One can take it for any park. I randomly selected Acadia.
I thought the focus of this questionaire interesting. Try as I may, I could not find any questions relevant to the purposes of the National Parks system except, possibly, the one about educational opportunities.
If you've not visited NPF's site recently, you might consider doing so. They have added a new and commerically oriented "Travel Planning" section. Clearly NPF is engaged in a major push to market the parks, to sell Park Passes and to generally promote the interests of the travel / tourism industry. Protecting and conserving the parks doesn't seem to appear anywhere upon NPF's radar screen.
