National Preserves

Great Sand Dunes - CO

National preserves are areas having characteristics associated with national parks, but in which Congress has permitted continued public hunting, trapping, oil/gas exploration and extraction. Many existing national preserves, without sport hunting, would qualify for national park designation.

Through the National Historic Landmarks Program, the National Park Service oversees the designation of these special places and helps to preserve them.
