Lady Bird Johnson loved the natural world, and she loved Texas. To hav...e her welcome in Padre Island as a National Seashore was most fitting. She was the face of conservation and helped spread the message of the National Park Service while her husband was in office. She urged Americans to see their country first hand, to get out and explore their natural landscapes and National Parks. With the Centennial year of the NPS starting at the end of this month, follow in Lady Bird's footsteps and take some time out to visit your National Parks.
