SWAG celebrates NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOUNDERS DAY!

On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed what is now called the Organic Act. It established the National Park Service. As part of the Department of Interior, the National Park Service protects 400 areas in each of the 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia totaling 84 million acres.

National Park Service Founders Day recognizes the superior conservation and preservation efforts of the National Parks System. Whether enjoying scenic trails, open spaces, watersheds or recreational areas, the National Parks Service provides a natural outdoor resource accessible to every American. Hiking and biking trails entice us to explore. They also offer an outdoor experience like no other. These parks challenge us with more beauty and history that most of us can imagine.

 

Join us Wednesday, August 25, 2021 from 5:30-7:30pm... official time... some folks start showing us as early as 5, but come on out when you like! We will be on the stage.

SouthWest Arlington Geocachers (SWAG) is a group of cachers that meet informally at No Frills Grill & Sports Bar (I-20 & Little Road) in Arlington, Texas. Everyone is welcome, so please come join us. We first started meeting in early October of 2008.
