The National Park Foundation announced the 2010 “Top National Parks for Fall Foliage” list. Each national park location offers unique ways in which visitors can view the colorful foliage. Whether by water, foot, bicycle or car, however, the dramatic colors of the season are not to be missed.

From Green Right Now Reports
Urban youth around the nation will be breaking ground this spring on gardens of native plant species as part of the National Park Foundation’s First Bloom program. First Bloom gives students experience in national parks, and teaches important conservation lessons, including the difference between native and invasive plant species.
Youth groups participating in the program work with park rangers to design and plant their own gardens in national parks. First Bloom connects kids between 4th and 6th grades to nature and national parks. The nationwide program is currently taking place in 26 national parks in partnership with 31 youth groups, primarily local Boys and Girls Clubs, across the country.
