Pea Ridge National Military Park » Pea Ridge National Military Park Cultural Landscape Report
The Park has developed a Cultural Landscape Report that establishes a preservation philosophy and a framework to guide treatment to enhance resource condition and visitor experience, and support interpretive programming. It will guide implementation of our General Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement, 2006, allowing the Park to achieve the desired condition of natural and cultural resources, circa 1862. It also provides for the long-term stewardship of the Park for current visitors and future generations by improving cultural resource protection, and providing a cohesive, unified visitor experience.
As part of this effort, the NPS has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for an evaluation of alternatives for the Cultural Landscape Report. The plan will look at a variety of treatment options to achieve the goals of the General Management Plan and to help fulfill the purpose of the park's creation.
