Congaree Draft Foundation Document
Congaree National Park » Congaree Draft Foundation Document » Document List
The National Park Service is preparing a foundation document to guide planning and management of Congaree National Park. The park would like to invite the public to join in this effort. A foundation document involves examining a national park unit's core purpose and significance, its most important resources and values, and the interpretive themes that tell the park's important stories.
The foundation document will affirm the underlying guidance for future management and planning decisions at Congaree National Park. Because many of the park's planning documents are out of date, preparing the foundation document is the first step for considering the park's future planning and study needs. Although the document does not make decisions about the future of the park, it describes a shared understanding of what is most important about the park.
The National Park Service invites the public to play a role in charting the park's future by sharing their thoughts on what is most important about Congaree National Park, and to help identify its most pressing threats and its greatest opportunities. This input will be taken into consideration by the project team.
