Resource Preservation & Interpretation of Bloody Hill


We are pleased to announce that an Environmental Assessment (EA) for resource preservation and visitor interpretation of Bloody Hill at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield is now available for a 30-day public review and comment period. Members of the public that would like a copy of this document mailed to them can contact Gary Sullivan at 417-732-2662 ext. 286.

The purpose and need of the environmental assessment is to find solutions, define outcomes, and find ways to protect sensitive resources while providing interpretation to visitors that utilize the Bloody Hill area of Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. The proposed changes are necessary to provide effective interpretation to visitors while protecting park resources as provided for in the National Battlefield's enabling legislation, purpose, mission, and goals.

Please note that some of the attached files are very large and may be slow to download. In particular, the Location Maps, Appendices V and VI contain graphics and photos. The main body of the environmental assessment is contained in the first file.

Upon completion of this process in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Park Service may take action to harden existing trails, construct ADA resting platforms, install interpretive waysides and directional signs, install cannons, and reroute small sections of trail.
