Planning

In late 2009 and early 2010 we will begin preparing a General Management Plan (GMP) for the new National Monument. During the GMP process we will indentify what themes are critical to interpreting the history, what resources and lands are critical to preserve and support the telling of the historic story, and what facilities and staffing structure will be necessary to operate the Monument. For a new Monument such as this it will be a complex, interagency process involving the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the public. It will take approximately three to four years to complete the GMP. As we get closer to starting the process we will post notices on this site about upcoming events and opportunities for the public to contribute and be involved in the planning process.
