Parks Policy Would Highlight Donor Names - Yahoo! News

Parks Policy Would Highlight Donor Names - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON - The Interior Department is poised to begin naming benches, bricks and rooms in national parks after private donors, a practice that critics say sends mixed signals about industry influence on public lands policy.

Park Service officials say the new guidelines, which could be approved by early next year, would simply make it easier for the agency to recognize corporations and individuals who are already giving. Names already appear on plaques around parks, but the new policy would make donors more prominent."
