The Jan. 30 letter “National parks need attention” from Susan Setterberg regarding the 100th anniversary of the National Parks this year was indeed appropriate and timely. We are fortunate to have these wonderful parks in our country. But we must be vigilant that large and powerful corporations are not allowed to build, develop, mine or log near these parks. To do so would impact the beauty and solitude the national parks offer to all of us. Hopefully, Congress will fully fund the national parks on this 100th year anniversary milestone.
