Antietam-Manassas-Monocacy Deer Management Plan and EIS

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting your input in developing a White-tailed Deer Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (plan/EIS) for Antietam and Monocacy National Battlefields and Manassas National Battlefield Park. This plan/EIS is being developed for all three battlefields together because they all face similar issues relating to the high densities of deer within the battlefield boundaries and the effect the deer are having on the forest and cultural landscapes of the battlefields. Your participation is vital to our planning process. There are a number of ways to be involved, including attending one of the public scoping meetings, or submitting written or electronic comments
