Park Planning

Parks use the planning process to make decisions that align with the NPS mission. The NPS planning process is:

• Transparent: findings, decisions, and actions are shared with the public.
• Collaborative: we seek input from technical experts, external communities, and stakeholders.
• Bound by federal laws and regulations, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and Wilderness Act.

The National Park Service uses one website for all park units’ planning needs. The Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) site is the one-stop shop to find park planning documents and get involved in the planning process.
