National Preserve

Encyclopedia : N : NA : NAT : National Preserve

National Preserve is a designation applied by the United States Congress to protected areas that have characteristics normally associated with U.S. National Parks but where certain activities not allowed in National Parks are permitted. These activities include public hunting, trapping, oil and gas exploration/extraction. Most preserves are administered by the National Park Service.

Many National Preserves would qualify as National Parks but allow hunting.
