This long-range interpretive plan examines the park's purposes and significant resources in order to establish the park's primary interpretive themes and visitor experience goals. The plan further provides opportunities for visitors to make their own intellectual and emotional connections to the meanings and significance of the preserve's resources. The plan analyzes the park's current interpretive facilities and outlines any changes necessary to facilitate appropriate visitor experiences. The long-range interpretive plan lays the groundwork for subsequent media planning and design and personal services program development. The actions recommended in the plan are those that the park can reasonably be expected to accomplish in 5 -10 years.

The purpose of treatment in a cultural landscape report is to direct management of a landscape based on the goal of preserving and enhancing its historic character within the context of other park management goals such as public access, natural resources conservation, recreation, and interpretation. Treatment is described through narrative and graphics at a conceptual level.
This report recommends restoration of historic spaces and installation of historic furnishings in three separate phases. Implementation of the historic furnishings plan in stages will allow for thoughtful review of the current use of space by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (the Conservancy) within the historic structure, and provide greater fl exibility in funding signifi cant rehabilitation and restoration projects. Ongoing implementation of the furnishings plans will also provide an opportunity to review and revise visitor circulation patterns and other aspects of the operating plan. It is anticipated that this ongoing review will be critical in managing the large numbers of island visitors in a safe and effi cient manner, while providing them with site interpretation of the highest quality.
This archeological overview and assessment for Wilson's Creek National Battlefield describes the multiple episodes of archeological investigation that have occurred in the park. The report discusses the multiple recorded archeological sites in the park. The assessment discusses the park's archeological resources. The overview and assessment concludes with a series of recommendations for future archeological investigations, including an inventory of the prehistoric resources and a metal-detecting inventory of the battlefield of Wilson's Creek.
This Historic Furnishings Report recommends a period of refurnishing dating to approximately 1848-65. The author believes that this period most closely fulfills the interpretive goals as described in the draft General Management Plan. Excellent evidence for furnishings exists for this period, including original objects (many of which are marked with McMurran's name) and an 1865 roomby- room inventory that lists objects sold with the house.
This report details the results of the 22nd year of the western snowy plover (Charadriusalexandrinus nivosus) monitoring program within Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California (PRNS). The goal of the 2011 monitoring effort was to determine abundance, distribution, and breeding success of snowy plovers nesting on federal lands within PRNS. The report provides an overview of the 2011 snowy plover monitoring program on federal lands and summarizes the results of the data collected during the field season.
The following is a survey of the current memorial plaques, waysides and identification plaques found throughout Washington Square as of January 2006. The memorial plaques in the square include everything from plaques that honor individuals and their work, those that commemorate important events, to identifying tree genus and species. Current waysides contain history about the Square and Philadelphia, while the identification plaques consist of various informational markers. The accompanying map locates the forty-two plaques and waysides currently within Washington Square. This map is divided into quadrants and further divided into zones, with each plaque and wayside appropriately located on the map. Other information found in this survey includes dimensions of the metal plaque or stone wayside, material from which the marker is made, installation or dedication date (if known), and the inscription that can be found on the plaque or wayside. In addition, two photographs of the plaque or wayside are included, one being a close shot of the marker at the time this survey was conducted, and another photograph showing the single marker within the wider surroundings of Washington Square.
The author details the deployment of three acoustical monitoring systems in April 2009 in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (ORPI). The purpose of this monitoring effort was to characterize existing sound levels and estimate natural ambient sound levels in these areas, as well as identify audible sound sources prior to the construction of several Department of Homeland Security Rapid Deployment Towers (RDT) that will be located on or adjacent to ORPI. Acoustical monitoring provides a scientific basis for assessing the current status of acoustic resources, identifying trends in resource conditions, quantifying impacts from other actions, assessing consistency with park management objectives and standards, and informing management decisions regarding desired future conditions.
The Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) Comprehensive Rail Study provides a 20-year framework for the growth and development of Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR). This study documents the current state of the system as a baseline for analysis, and, using CVNP- and CVSR-defined vision and goals for the system, develops a prioritized program of improvements to achieve stakeholders' desired future state.

This report is divided into six chapters. Chapter I is the "administrative data" section, which documents the significance of the house, National Park Service involvement, and proposed use and treatment. Chapter II is an "architectural history" that describes the evolution of the house and its site, from its original construction circa 1705 to the present time. Also described is an earlier Meriam house that is believed to have been located nearby on Lexington Road, which was also standing on April 19, 1775. Chapter III is an architectural description of the existing Meriam House, its outbuildings, and other buildings on the former Meriam farm. Chapter IV provides recommendations for the future treatment of the house. Chapter V contains the appendices, including a survey of existing maintenance conditions and recommendations for repairs. Chapter VI is a bibliography of sources.
This study develops themes to explain the monument's history and to show the center as one of several land uses over time. Organized chronologically, the themes within the study include early Idaho history, prewar settlement and development, racism and discrimination, camp life, and postwar settlement and land use. The role of the federal government is recurring and dominant within these themes. The government created the wartime relocation centers deep in the American interior on federal land. However, Minidoka reaches beyond a federal land use study. Studying the site within a broader agricultural, military, and ethnic history enriches and clarifies the story.
This comprehensive Management and use Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) presents a proposal and four alternatives for the management, use, and development of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.

NatureServe contracted with the New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau (NH Heritage) to conduct a survey and produce a map of the vegetation of Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. NatureServe ecologists planned the sampling, oversaw the field effort, and integrated plot and accuracy assessment data and field information into the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) to produce a standardized product for the National Park Service. The purpose of this project was to produce a standardized map and classification of the vegetation communities and land cover of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and to provide thorough baseline data on the park's vegetation.
