General Management Plan

General Management Plan

KalaupapaNational Historical Park is in the process of developing a general management plan (GMP). The GMP will provide guidance for the future preservation and management of Kalaupapa for the next 15-20 years. It will serve as Kalaupapa's "blueprint" for the future. We hope you will share your thoughts, ideas, and vision throughout the planning process so that together we can keep Kalaupapa a sacred place for the patient community along with the protection, preservation, and interpretation of cultural, historical, and natural resources. We are reaching out for your kōkua and manaʻo as we develop the general management plan.

Latest: Newsletter #3: Preliminary Alternatives

The planning team has prepared a newsletter that includes information about the preliminary alternatives for the plan. The preliminary alternatives address specific issues for Kalaupapa and consider Hawaiian land management concepts while also following federal and state laws and policies. The alternatives encompass a wide range of actions, including the preservation of historic features, development of visitor and interpretive facilities both on-site and off-site, and education and outreach programs. Once fully developed, one of these alternatives may be selected as the preferred alternative or a new alternative could emerge. Please send us your comments by July 16, 2011.
