America's tremendous asset base of protected areas is critical for conservation planning, natural resource management, recreation, public health and more. These include national parks and forests, wildlife sanctuaries, state beaches and parks, county open space, city parks, land trust preserves, conservation easements, marine protected areas and more. Altogether, these areas cover over 3 billion acres and are managed by thousands of public agencies and non-profit organizations that serve current and future generations. A complete and current database of these places is a critical tool to achieve organizational missions across jurisdictions. Join us to learn about the PAD-US system, the recent update, available maps and information, applications, our vision for the future and opportunities to help.
