Completed NRCA Reports

Two groups of NRCA reports can be accessed below:

1. Studies and reports that are consistent with contemporary NRCA guidance, which is framed around:
   • a revised set of project guidelines - September 2009
   • a standard Chapter 1 - July 2010
   • a revised report outline (version 3.1) - July 2010
   View reports below...
2. Pilot and other early generation studies that predate the contemporary guidance. These reports remain relevant and useful in terms of documenting a range of good study approaches and reporting products, but are not fully consistent with the 2009/2010 guidance.

In addition to the document links provided below, these NRCA reports can also be accessed through the NPS Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) data and information retrieval portal.

Reports are shown by year of publication, starting with the most recent year, and then in alphabetical order within each year of publication.
