There are fifty-five National Heritage Areas scattered across the
US and they continue to grow in number and diversity. Though
they're not officially national parks, their conservation,
education, and recreation related objectives echo those of the
national parks: to conserve nationally significant natural and
cultural landscapes and to make them available to the public for
purposes of education, recreation, and sustainable tourism-related
economic development. But the methods of achieving these objectives
are different-very different-than those used in the national parks.
While both national parks and NHAs are established by Congress,
national parks are conventionally large areas of public land that
are owned and managed by the National Park Service (NPS). NHAs take
a more inclusive, partnership-based approach to their work; they
offer local citizens, government at all levels, non-profit
organizations, and private sector enterprises the opportunity to
define, celebrate and conserve the natural, historic, cultural,
scenic and recreational resources that have been vital in shaping
their identity and destiny. NHAs are composed primarily of private
lands; they're living landscapes where participants reside, work
and play. Each chapter in this guidebook describes the remarkable
natural and cultural resources that define NHAs and highlights
nearby visitor attractions, enticing readers to visit NHAs and to
enjoy and appreciate the attractions offered.
