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.

Minute Man National Historical Park in Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, Massachusetts, preserves the sites and landscape that became the first field of battle during the American Revolution on April 19, 1775. Popularized as “the shot heard ‘round the world,” it was here that British colonists risked their lives and property, defending their ideals of liberty. Visitors to the 967-acre park can take a guided tour, hike the 5-mile Battle Road Trail, or attend one of several special events that are held each year.
