The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program provides framework, funding, and publishing support to parks to aid in the synthesis and documentation of natural resource conditions. Condition assessment reports are a tool to describe selected park resources, record a snapshot of their current condition, identify trends in condition, and determine potential or current threats and stressors. Understanding the condition and trend of natural resources is key for parks and NPS planners to appropriately prioritize and allocate stewardship resources.

On April 9, 1865, the Confederate Army surrendered in the village of Appomattox Court House in central Virginia, ending the American Civil War. Appomattox Court House National Historical Park preserves the 19th-century village that spans more than 1,775 acres and includes the site of the surrender. The park includes the court house, the McLean House where General Robert E. Lee surrendered, and more than a dozen other buildings that made up the village. Visitors to the park can enjoy guided programs, exhibits, a theater, and over eight miles of hiking trails.
