The National Park Service Civil War Defenses of Washington sites are under the management of three seperate units--National Capital Parks-East, Rock Creek Park, and George Washington Memorial Parkway. Because the management of these sites is divided among three parks, a Final Managment Plan was developed in 2004 to provide a unified management concept for the significant cultural and natural resources associated with the Civil War Defenses of Washington. This plan will guide the management of the parks over the next 10-15 years. The Final Management Plan is presented here in two parts for those who would like to learn more:
