Superintendent John C. Scott has announced the public review period for two guiding management documents for Pea Ridge National Military Park: a Cultural Landscape Report and Environmental Assessment, and a Vegetation Management Plan and Environmental Assessment.

The purpose of the Cultural Landscape Report is to provide guidance for preserving the cultural landscape and features of Pea Ridge National Military Park as the historic site of the Battle of Pea Ridge. It includes guidance on preserving the character of the landscape that shaped the course of the battle and the Civil War.

The purpose of the Vegetation Management Plan is to modify and/or establish the vegetation patterns in the park to represent the look and feel of the 1862 battlefield landscape. "This plan is integrated with, and will promote active vegetation restoration and support protection and preservation of, the cultural resources that are being considered in the Cultural Landscape Report" said Superintendent Scott.
 
Description:
Pea Ridge National Military Park was established in 1956 to commemorate and preserve the site of the March 1862 Civil War battle that helped Union forces gain control of Missouri. The park is located 10 miles north of Rogers on Highway 62.
