|| Tea – Hosted by Rosalie Plechaty ||
The National Park Service (NPS) is responsible for not only over 400 sites throughout the United States and Territories, it also administers many other federal programs that touch the lives of every citizen and visitor of our great nation. Many of these programs exist right here in our own back yard. Pat will shed some light on how the work of dedicated federal professionals are hard at work in offices and in the field throughout Michigan to protect and conserve special places and resources in partnership with other units of government, private organizations, and everyday citizens like us.
