Literature

Parks There are in England 334 parks stocked with deer; red deer are kept in 31 of them. The oldest is Eridge Park, in Sussex, called in Domesday Book Reredfelle (Rotherfield). The largest private deer park is Lord Egerton's, Tatton, in Cheshire, which contains 2,500 acres. Blenheim Park contains 2,800 acres, but only 1,150 acres of it are open to deer. Almost as extensive as Tatton Park are Richmond Park, in Surrey; Eastwell Park, in Kent; Grimsthrope Park, in Lincolnshire; Thoresby Park, in Notts; and Knowesley Park, in Lancashire. (E. P. Shirley: English Deer Parks.) Woburn Park is 3,500 acres. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

National park

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

National parks are reserves of land, usually owned by national governments, that are protected from most human development.

The idea of a national park was first formulated by painter George Catlin. In his travels though the American West, he became concerned about the future of the Native Americans he met and the natural wonders he saw. In 1832 he wroted that they might be preserved,

by some great protecting policy of government... in a magnificent park.... A nation's park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature's beauty!

The first effort by any government to set aside such lands was in the United States, where an Act of Congress signed by Abraham Lincoln on June 30, 1864 ceded Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove (heart of the future Yosemite National Park) to the state of California:

. . . the said State shall accept this grant upon the express conditions that the premises shall he held for public use, resort, and recreation; shall be inalienable for all time . . .

Several years later, a similar measure was proposed for an area in Wyoming and Montana, but problems with tourists and settlers in and around Yosemite, and the fact that the proposed reserve lay in more than one state, led to the idea of a federally controlled park. In 1871, Yellowstone National Park was established as the world's first truly national park. Following the better idea established in Yellowstone, Yosemite was created a national park in 1890, and followed soon after by other parks in many other nations.

National parks are usually located in places which have been largely undeveloped, and often feature areas with exceptional native animals, plants and ecosystems (particularly endangered examples of such), or unusual geological features. Occasionally, national parks are declared in developed areas with the goal of returning the area to resemble its original state as closely as possible. In some countries (e.g., United Kingdom) the designation of an area as a national park does not entail national ownership of the land, but simply enforces conservation through planning regulations. UK national parks typically include significant amounts of privately owned land, are used for agriculture, and contain small towns and public roads.

Most national parks have a dual role in offering a refuge for wildlife and as popular tourist areas. Managing the potential for conflict between these two roles can be difficult, particularly as tourists often generate revenue for the parks which can be spent on conservation projects. Occasionally mineral resources are discovered in national parks - if attempts are made to exploit such resources it usually leads to considerable conflict with environmentalists who believe that no such activities should be conducted within these parks.

Some countries (e.g. the U.S.) also designate sites of special cultural, scientific or historical importance as national parks, or as special entities within their national park systems. Other countries use a different scheme for historical site preservation.

In many countries, local government bodies may also maintain park systems. For example, in the US, there are state parks, regional parks, and county parks in addition to the national park system. Generally though not always, the most important sites are national parks.
