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.

Honoring America’s first president, George Washington Birthplace National Monument encompasses 551 acres of land where seven generations of the Washington family lived and where George Washington was born in 1732. Located in the Northern Neck of Virginia, the monument preserves the heart of the Washington plantation and family burial ground. A complex association of cultural landscapes combines with the natural resources and ecosystems to offer places for exploration and reflection.
