The Division of Planning is an assemblage of planning, environmental review, transportation and design professionals that provide GGNRA management with the technical expertise and policy guidance needed to preserve and protect the park’s natural and cultural resources and provide for appropriate public use. Planning staff work as a team with other park divisions, park partners, and other agencies to make this mission a reality.
Planning staff are responsible for:
preparing, updating and implementing plans and park projects
managing construction projects
developing comprehensive project designs
land acquisition planning
architectural and landscape architectural design

facilitating environmental compliance of GGNRA actions that could impact the environment
environmental monitoring
