GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Pinnacles National Monument is working on a new general management plan (GMP). The last plan was completed in 1976. The general management plan will help us make decisions on directions for resource management, visitor use and interpretation, and facilities management. It will help us to decide how best to use the new Pinnacles Ranchlands we acquired in 2006. It gives you the opportunity to express your thoughts, ideas, and vision so that together we can keep Pinnacles a wonderful resource for the future.

For more information about the GMP process, please view or print the Pinnacles GMP NewsletterYou may also visit a web site called the National Park Service Planning, Environment and Public Comment website (or PEPC). It provides information about current plans and related documents. This web site will be updated whenever we have new information to share with you.

While the official scoping comment period ended on May 31, 2007, there will be additional opportunities throughout the planning process to share your thoughts and ideas about Pinnacles. Please let us know if you would like to be included on the mailing list for this planning project.

We welcome your comments throughout the planning process. You may contact us by email, or send a letter to:

Pinnacles National Monument GMP

Paicines, CA 95043
