The overall goal of the SODN landbird monitoring program is to
detect biologically significant changes in population parameters
over time. This collaborative program is intended to maximize the
strength of inferences within the context of finite resources. The
monitoring design is a multitiered, flexible framework that will
enable efficient estimation and monitoring of population
parameters, periodic evaluation of assumptions, and the opportunity
for adaptation to meet additional needs.
The Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) serves as the primary treatment
document for cultural landscapes and the primary tool for managing
those landscapes. It provides treatment guidance within the context
of the site's history and significance, extant features and
historic character, and current planning objectives and management
goals. This report, the second volume of the CLR, includes overall
treatment strategies for the site as well as direct treatment
actions that are needed to ensure the long-term protection,
preservation, and continued use of the landscape. Although ongoing
park and volunteer efforts have succeeded in protecting and
preserving many of the essential elements of the historic
landscape, they have been operating without a comprehensive plan
for managing the landscape as a whole. Volume 2 provides a
comprehensive plan under the umbrella of the broader goals
established in the park's General Management Plan.
This publication addresses the design guidelines for the White
House and President's Park- including Lafayette Park, the White
House and its adjacent grounds, and the Ellipse. It provides a
framework of mutually agreed upon tenets that guide, but do not
dictate, future development.
This Museum Management Plan (MMP) for the museum at San Juan Island
National Historical Park (SAJH) identifies the key collection
management issues facing the park, and presents a series of
recommendations to address those issues. This plan was developed by
a team of experienced museum collection management professionals
working in cooperation with the park management team and staff.
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.
The purpose of the Bates Well Ranch Historic Structure Report is to
evaluate the existing conditions of the district of 14 buildings,
structures and features and make recommendations to guide the
future maintenance, preservation, and rehabilitation efforts
necessary to utilize the district for future use. The HSR
establishes a baseline of information, both archival and field
documentation, from which future actions can be taken. The scope of
the HSR was restricted to evaluating the architectural integrity of
the site, i.e., the specific historic features that characterize
the site's significance as documented by the National Register of
Historic Places nomination form. This report provides condition
assessment, recommended preservation treatments and action priority
for holistic building systems, as well as individual features of
building exteriors and interiors, as they pertain to preserving the
site's historic and architectural integrity.
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.
The purpose of the study is to identify historic places that best
represent the wartime mobilization that occurred in the United
States and its territories and possessions between 1939 and 1945 to
assist in identifying whether any of these places should be
considered for potential inclusion in the National Park System.
The purpose of this report is to inform the MOU agencies,
stakeholders, and the public about the current status and trends of
wet nitrogen deposition at RMNP. The MOU agencies will use the
information provided in this annual report to make a determination
of whether the interim milestones have been achieved in 2013, 2018,
2023, and 2028.
The purpose of this special resource study is to evaluate the
potential of adding Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, to the
National Park System to commemorate the role of the Tuskegee Airmen
during World War II. The study applies national significance,
suitability, and feasibility criteria and presents feasible
management and development alternatives. This study does not
include a preferred alternative.
This document provides a report on the expenditures and
accomplishments of the Vanishing Treasures Program (VT) in FY 1999.
It includes specific information on expenditure of program funds,
an accounting of preservation treatment projects implemented in a
select number of VT parks, and it presents a report on the
personnel that have been hired with VT funds since FY 1998 and many
of their accomplishments. This document provides information
regarding the proposed use of funds in FY 2000, and some
projections for FY 2001 and beyond. Finally, it provides an update
on the activities of the Program's Advisory and Workgroups.
This study of slavery and runaways from the Eppes plantations near
City Point and Petersburg, VA, was originally planned as one part
of a three-part history study of the Underground Railroad that
would include three NPS sites within the Northeast Region of the
NPS. The primary goal of this multi-site study was to demonstrate
the widespread activity of the Underground Railroad and its
connections from region to region and nation to nation. A secondary
goal was to place the Underground Railroad within the context of
African American life at those three sites, two of which were upper
South plantations using enslaved labor.
This annual report highlights the individual accomplishments of
Vanishing Treasures staff within their respective parks, as well as
projects that parks have been able to execute with funding provided
by the Vanishing Treasures Program.
This historic structure report (HSR) was written preparatory to the
rehabilitation of Building 32 by the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway
National Recreation Area (NRA) to accommodate several of the park's
functions. Rehabilitation work was completed in June 1996. As a
result, the current (2004) interior appearance of the structure
differs greatly from that described in this report. A more detailed
account of the work performed can be found in the appendix of this
report. It was determined that this historic structure report would
be a Level- B report, which required only secondary- source
research and nondestructive investigation of Building 32. The
research tasks included the review of all existing reports and
documents located at the Northeast Cultural Resources Center, at
the Boston Support Office, and in the park archives. All historical
documents, photographs, and maps available in the park archives
were also examined.
This report documents the evolution of the Gatehouse using both
primary and secondary sources, including public and private records
and collections, historic photographs, historic maps, personal
interviews, and an investigation of the building's existing
architectural fabric.
This report will focus on Aspet, the home of Augustus Saint-
Gaudens, and on his studio, known as the Little Studio. The scope
of this project as stated in its Project Agreement is limited to
providing an update to four previously compiled historic structure
reports for the main house (Aspet) and the Little Studio. The
current project had two primary purposes. The first was to update
the buildings' developmental and architectural history - i.e., to
document changes to Aspet and the Little Studio from 1977 to the
present, according to the Cultural Resource Management Guideline
(NPS- 28),1 while organizing the data in a chronology format. This
report includes a brief review of the architectural development of
the structures prior to 1977, as provided in the previous reports.
It will not restate physical descriptions as found in those
reports. However, if a feature has been added, changed, or removed,
such changes were documented. The second primary component of this
report was the determination and evaluation of the structures'
character- defining features (CDFs). Identifying the CDFs of each
building will help guide the park's decisions when future projects
that may impact the architectural appearance and integrity of Aspet
and the Little Studio are planned and implemented.
This Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement
presents and analyzes four draft alternative future directions for
the management and use of Minuteman Missile National Historic Site
(the national historic site). Alternative 4, Cold War Symbols, is
the National Park Service's preferred alternative. The potential
environmental impacts of all alternatives have been identified and
assessed.
