The MRP Spring 2012 Preliminary Alternative Concepts Workshops were aimed to allow you to examine a range of potential visitor experiences designed to be protective of river values. The final plan will guide the care and protection of the Merced River for the next 15 to 20 years. A workbook helped prepare the public to attend one of our four public workshops and two webinars. The workbook is formatted for 11 x 17 paper but will print at 8.5 x 11. To print letter size, select "Fit to Paper" in the print dialog box.
"Research": Spring 2012 scientific documents can be found on another webpage.

Merced River Plan History and Archive: The NPS prepared the initial Merced Wild and Scenic River Plan in August 2000. After multiple lawsuits and litigations, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion on March 27, 2008, expanding the scope of what the NPS had previously understood must be included in a legally valid Merced Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan.
