The National Park Service invests in planning to ensure that decisions it makes are as effective and efficient as possible in carrying out the NPS mission. That mission is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations and to cooperate with partners to extend the benefits of resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.
Fire Island National Seashore has begun the process of working on a new General Management Plan, to replace the park's current planning document which is almost 30 years old.
You are invited to take an active role in helping shape the future of this national treasure.
National Park Service NPSPlanning web site has links to many more documents and web sites to help you better understand the NPS planning process and requirements.
