Administrative History Note

The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) was founded May 19, 1919, as the National Parks Association (NPA). Sculptor Henry Kirke Bush-Brown, archeologist William Henry Holmes, anthropologist Jesse Walter Fewkes, Attorney Henry Brown Floyd McFarland, paleontologist Charles Doolittle Wolcott, and writer and promoter Robert Stirling Yard signed the articles of incorporation creating NPA as a watchdog group for the new National Park Service (NPS), created three years earlier. Yard was NPA's first employee. A friend of Stephen T. Mather, he often disagreed with him on proposed park development and commercialization of the parks to promote visitation. Over the decades, NPA continued to resist commercial efforts to build dams and promote mining, logging, and hunting in national parks. In 1970, in response to emerging environmental issues, it changed its name to the National Parks and Conservation Association. This was shortened to National Parks Conservation Association in 2000.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, NPCA expanded over time to include 27 regional offices around the United States. In 1992 Don Barger was hired to found, build, and direct NPCA’s Southeast Regional Office (SERO) dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural and natural resources of the National Park System in the Southeast. During his tenure Barger and his team defeated a proposal to build a dam in the headwaters of the Obed Wild and Scenic River, forcing the creation of the first-ever “regional utility district” and persuading the State of Tennessee to designate the Obed Wild and Scenic River as Outstanding National Resource Waters, granting it the highest level of protection under the Clean Water Act. Subsequently, Barger was appointed by Republican Governor Don Sundquist to a Water Supply Group that examined water supply sources state-wide and recommended legislation, passed by the State Legislature, that regulates the inter-basin transfer of water.

NPCA SERO also joined with the City of Middlesboro, Kentucky, to have the Fern Lake watershed, adjacent to Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, designated as unsuitable for surface mining. The area was subsequently added to the park via federal legislation. Barger also took the lead role in gaining an $11 million appropriation for the renovation of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in advance of Atlanta’s 1996 Olympic Games. Significantly NPCA SERO also created a coalition of state government and non-governmental organization (NGO) partners that succeeded in preserving 10,000 acres of biologically rich mountainside adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, linking it permanently to national forest lands in a continuous corridor. This project took years of Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) dam re-licensing negotiations with the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa).

Under Barger's leadership, NPCA stopped a dam proposed for a principal tributary of the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, setting a precedent for the authority of the NPS to have jurisdictional reach outside of park boundaries. They also worked with local residents to reverse the granting of a permit by the State of North Carolina for a mountainside rock mining operation adjacent to the stunningly beautiful Roan Mountain section of the Appalachian Trail. NPCA SERO organized a coalition of conservation and local officials to successfully oppose the construction of the North Shore Road through the most remote section of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Over the course of two decades, they worked to influence regional air quality standards through research, grassroots outreach, media work, documentation and communication with governments, businesses, and industries, and through interaction with Members of Congress. In 2011, NPCA entered into a Consent Decree with the Tennessee Valley Authority and others that resulted in the largest clean-up and retirement of coal-fired boilers in US history.

Barger initiated, researched, co-wrote, organized and managed a 10-year process resulting in the designation of 564 miles of ridgelines (around 74,000 acres), much of it in the headwaters of the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, as permanently off-limits to mountaintop mining. The successful petition was submitted to the federal Office of Surface Mining by the State of Tennessee, the first ever such petition by a state, and the resulting designation protects over a dozen federally-endangered species of mussels and two federally-endangered species of fish in the downstream Big South Fork.

Barger retired in 2019, although he continued to offer his services to NPCA as a senior advisor for several years after his retirement.
