Plan Process

Superintendent Lee Taylor has announced the proposed development of a Prairie Stewardship Plan. The plan will be used to direct the management of the natural and cultural landscape at American Camp and at English Camp's Young Hill. It will likely rely on a suite of restoration / management tools that would facilitate the park's ability to effectively restore components of the rare island prairie ecosystem.

"We want to know what people think we should be doing to manage the island prairie ecosystem. We are trying to find out what issues are important to ensure that they are included in the environmental impact analysis process," said Superintendent Taylor.
