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.

Richmond, Virginia was key to the American Civil War. Serving as both a manufacturing, medical, and political hub for the Confederacy, Richmond was the prize for which both the Union and Confederate armies fought from 1861 to 1865. Located on 3,629 acres of historic ground in the coastal plain of Virginia, today Richmond National Battlefield Park looks much as it would have during the civil war.
