The staff, volunteers, and partners of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve are dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural resources of Louisiana's Mississippi River Delta region. They believe that first and foremost, those resources and the park itself belong to the American people.

Check out the links above for information on how the park manages its resources on behalf of its owners. The public involvement page has links to all issues currently requesting public comments.
