Inventory and Monitoring Program

Saratoga NHP is participating in the National Park Service's "Inventory and Monitoring Program," a detailed study of multiple ecological "vital signs" intended to serve as indicators of environmental health.

The program divides participating parks into different networks or regions. Saratoga NHP is part of the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN).

You can read about and follow the results of research so far by checking out the Northeast Temperate Network's website.
