Management
|
National Park areas contain much of our national heritage. Caring for this natural and cultural heritage requires thorough and thoughtful planning to pass these irreplaceable resources on to future generations while providing for the best possible visitor experience today.
The road to the top of the volcano cuts through a mountain built of loose debris from the eruption. Erosion from this roadcut must be monitored regularly and requires constant maintenance and management.
