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.

Fort Frederica was built in the 1700s to protect the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids. In 1742, British forces at the fort defeated the Spanish, ensuring that the Georgia colony would remain in British control. Fort Frederica National Monument, located on St. Simon’s Island in southeastern Georgia, is comprised of 284 acres preserving the fort and surrounding town.
