Park Planning

The National Park Service is required by federal laws and regulations to include public input in projects and plans that may have impacts on our natural and cultural resources. But equally important, we want to know what you think about what we are doing in your parks. Your comments are an important tool that we use to better manage park sites.

In 2005 the National Park Service launched a new website, Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC), where you can read about proposed projects and plans in parks and where you can add your comments electronically.

We invite you to take an active role in park planning. After all, these are your parks.

Did You Know?
One hundred fifty Japanese Americans died while interned at Manzanar, but only six are still buried in the cemetery. Most of the 150 people were cremated, and others were removed from the cemetery after the war.
