This picture was taken while hiking at Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, IL. The personal benefit of State Parks is always such a great escape from reality to immerse ourselves with the relaxing and peaceful environment nature has to offer. Aside from personal benefits, state parks are very important to our environment since they help improve water quality, prevent flooding, provide habitats to wildlife, and improve the air quality we breathe. Preserving natural ecosystems will not only benefit the habitat, but also our community as a whole. Continuing to protect our biodiversity is vital in order to safeguard aspects such as our economy, culture, and spiritual values. It is important that as a society we keep these parks clean so that we don’t ever do anything to disturb its cleanliness. Just like as humans we would not want anything or anyone being a disturbance to our home and families, animals want the same. National Parks will continue to provide that safe home for plants and animals.
