Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that the National Park Service is in the process of preparing a Foundation Document for planning and management at César E. Chávez National Monument. In October 2012, President Barack Obama established the César E. Chávez National Monument to commemorate César E. Chávez and the struggles and accomplishments of the farm worker movement. As a new unit of the National Park system, César E. Chávez National Monument is preparing a Foundation Document as a first step towards planning for the monument's future. We invite you to share your thoughts on this draft document.
A Foundation Document involves identifying a national park unit's core mission and significance, most important resources and values, and the interpretive themes that tell the park's important stories. Although the Foundation Document is not a decision-making document and does not include actions or management strategies, it describes a shared understanding of what is most important about the park. In this capacity, the Foundation Document will reestablish the underlying guidance for future NPS management and planning decisions for César E. Chávez National Monument.
Because your input and opinions are important to us, I invite you to help the monument lay a solid foundation for moving forward. Please review and provide comments on the draft document so that we may take your thoughts into consideration as we finalize the Foundation Document.
You may submit your feedback in several ways:
1) input your comments online on this webpage (to submit a comment, select "Open for Comment" from the left menu), or,
2) mail a letter to the monument at the contact information below
All comments should be submitted by March 9, 2015.
I look forward to continuing to work with you as we plan for the monument's future.
Sincerely,
Ruben Andrade
Superintendent
