Park Science is a research and resource management bulletin of the U.S. National Park Service. It serves a broad audience of national park and protected area managers and scientists and provides public outreach. Published three times annually in the spring, summer, and fall/winter, Park Science reports the implications of recent and ongoing natural and social science and related cultural research for park planning, management, and policy. Thematic issues that explore a topic in depth are published occasionally. Articles are field-oriented accounts of applied research and resource management topics that are presented in nontechnical language. They translate scientific findings into usable knowledge for park planning and the development of sound management practices for natural resources and visitor enjoyment. The editor and board review content for clarity, completeness, usefulness, scientific and technical soundness, and relevance to NPS policy. The publication is funded by the Associate Director for Natural Resource Stewardship and Science through the Natural Resource Preservation Program.

Article inquiries, submissions, and comments should be directed to the editor by e-mail; hard-copy materials should be forwarded to the editorial office. Letters addressing scientific or factual content are welcome and may be edited for length, clarity, and tone.
