There are fifty-five National Heritage Areas scattered across the US and they continue to grow in number and diversity. But the methods of achieving these objectives are different--very different--than those used in the national parks. Though they're not officially national parks, their conservation, education, and recreation related objectives echo those of the national parks: to conserve nationally significant natural and cultural landscapes and to make them available to the public for purposes of education, recreation, and sustainable tourism-related economic development.
NHAs take a more inclusive, partnership-based approach to their work; they offer local citizens, government at all levels, While both national parks and NHAs are established by Congress, national parks are conventionally large areas of public land that are owned and managed by the National Park Service (NPS).
