Our national treasures ...

The National Park Service is holding "listening sessions" around the country as part of the National Park Centennial Initiative. The closest one to the Inland region is this Thursday night in Los Angeles. So if you're interested in attending a session, this is your best bet.
The agency wants to get public input on President Bush's initiative, which aims to significantly improve the nation's parks by the agency's 100th birthday in 2016.
The plan is for new and improved visitor centers, trails, campgrounds, and other facilities, and more ranger-led programs, according to the park service. The meeting will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Blvd.
Officials from Joshua Tree, Death Valley and Channel Islands national parks and the Mojave National Preserve are expected to be there. Deborah DeMeo, the California desert program manager with the National Parks Conservation Association, says she and other association staff will be available at 4:30 p.m. for a brief, informal event.
