Natural Resources Condition Assessment for Hot Springs National Park (HOSP) and Buffalo National River (BUFF)

archived

The purpose of this agreement is to produce Natural Resource Condition Assessments (NRCAs) for two NPS units: Buffalo National River and Hot Springs National Park. The assessments are a part of an ongoing effort by the National Park Service to evaluate the status of conditions in the parks, identify important threats and stressors to critical resources, and identify data gaps. The public and Park visitors will benefit by gaining the opportunity to better understand the complex nature of park natural resources at these parks, gain an appreciation for the challenges of managing a park for both visitor enjoyment and conservation. The information gained will aid other land managers (federal, state and private organizations) surrounding these parks.
