The goal of Eastern National’s publication, Branching Out: Approaches in National Park Stewardship, is to create a greater understanding of innovations in national park management, and in particular to recognize the significant role partnerships play in meeting the challenge of resource stewardship. Published in 2003, this booklet points out that the evolution of the park concept over time has been in response to changes in American society and cultural values. Today, “partnerships that combine a landscape perspective with a growing community-based commitment to stewardship have become critical factors in the sustainability of all national park areas.” CSI Director Nora Mitchell served on the editorial advisory team for the publication.
