June 29 marks the 75th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signing of the law that established Olympic National Park. The park commemorates its 75th year with a new logo and new online features and events planned throughout 2013.
“This anniversary gives us a chance to reflect on the outstanding natural and cultural heritage protected within the park,” said Sarah Creachbaum, superintendent of Olympic National Park, in a statement. “Our local and regional neighbors are familiar with this heritage, but like all national parks, Olympic is a treasured part of our nation’s heritage.”
A special 75th anniversary logo was developed by park staff members Greg Marsh and Judy Lively and includes elements of Olympic’s three best-known features — glacier-capped mountains, large tracts of primeval forest and the rugged Pacific Coast. Featured are the words “Your Park, Your Heritage,” celebrating the park’s place in the national heritage of all Americans.
