The National Park Service has begun the process of developing a cave management plan for Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. At this point in that process we are soliciting comments from the public on issues they feel the plan should address. This input along with the defined Purpose and Need for the plan will guide the development of alternatives to be considered in an environmental assessment of the plan.
Prior to a final decision to approve a new plan a draft of the plan and environmental assessment will be realeased for further public review and comment.
