The NPS is working on an update to the General Management Plan for the GGNRA and Muir Woods National Monument and needs your help in imagining the future of these two parks.

These are your park lands.  This is your opportunity to help create the vision for their future.

We encourage your participation to help create the vision and framework that will guide the management of the park for the next 20 years. It’s been more than 25 years since the original General Management Plan (GMP) was put in place. Since then, the park has more than doubled in size and visitation, and the ecological and historical importance of its resources has become better understood. Now it’s time to look forward again – to see how we can best preserve the natural vitality and unique cultural history of our park lands and continue to make them great places for all of us to visit and enjoy.

The park will complete an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the new GMP. Numerous public scoping workshops were conducted in Spring 2006 to gather public input. The team is currently analyzing public comments and gathering data. The approved plan is expected to be ready for implementation in 2010.

The GGNRA is a resource that contributes
to this region’s greatness. On any given
day, it’s possible to stroll through the
majestic redwood trees of Muir Woods,
find respite from a busy urban area,
experience and learn about military
history, hike the coastal trail at Mori
Point, immerse yourself in history at
Alcatraz Island, or spot a red-tailed
hawk soaring in the Marin Headlands.
