Draft General Management Plan, Environmental Assessment: March 1992; Prince William Forest Park, Virginia (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents a thorough management plan for the sustained protection and public use of Prince William Forest Park. It is a detailed, informative document that is likely to interest administrators of similar parks, students of forestry and ecology, and anyone with an interest in the natural resources and recreational opportunities that the American park system offers. The park protects a section of the Quantico Creek Watershed that was part of an extensive land reclamation and restoration effort begun as part of the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps. The author provides historical context for the park's designation and its inclusion in the National Park Service. Crucially, the plan acknowledges the need to balance the public's recreational needs with the essential preservation of the park's natural resources. The central tension that this management plan addresses is how to best preserve the park's natural and cultural resources while continuing to accommodate public demand for a variety of recreational activities. The author highlights the need to address both preservation and use through a thoughtful and comprehensive plan. Ultimately, this book is an important contribution to managing natural spaces that serve a large and diverse population.
