    Albright Training Center Grand Canyon, AZ www.nps.gov/training/hoal Printed March 2014 i Welcome Welcome to Horace M. Albright Training Center You are visiting a premier architectural facility! Listed in 2013 to the National Register of Historic Places, Albright Training Center embodies excellence in showcasing the tenets of the Mission 66 building era: simple modern lines, creative use of concrete, economy of space and dollar. Albright Training Center, named for the second Director of the National Park Service, moved to Grand Canyon in 1963 at the height of the Mission 66 building boom. It was a provocative project of that era and is the only federal training center of its kind. It proudly takes its place alongside Grand Canyon’s South Rim Village as a distinctive historic district worthy of national preservation. The future of the Park Service begins here! For over fifty years, Albright has been the home of new employee training. Today it hosts 700+ students annually in residential courses as a part of the Fundamentals curriculum. Urban and rural students alike are immersed in a case study atmosphere that presents one of the finest examples of conservation leadership right here at Grand Canyon National Park, an international icon and World Heritage Site. Students leave feeling part of something important and carrying forward the work of colleagues now long gone: a new, dedicated force for good. The world is our oyster! With the South Rim a one mile stroll from the nine acre campus, it’s easy to imagine how such an inspiring setting can cement learnings and friendships that last a lifetime, both important tools for successful professionals.

  • A History of National Park Service Interpretation at Grand Canyon
    A History of National Park Service Interpretation at Grand Canyon National Park by Sarah Ruth Gerke A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2010 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Paul Hirt, Chair Jannelle Warren-Findley Linda Sargent Wood ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2010 ABSTRACT The Grand Canyon is one of the most well-recognized natural features in the world, but it is also a cultural landscape. The way that the interpretation of this natural and cultural landscape has changed over time reveals a great deal about what values Americans place on scenic areas (especially national parks), how they want to experience them, what stories they want to be told there, and what cultural values were important in America at the time. This dissertation traces how the interpretation of Grand Canyon has changed over time from its earliest history until the present day, particularly focusing on National Park Service (NPS) interpretation of the site. It argues that the process involved in developing NPS interpretation at Grand Canyon National Park involved give and take between the local and national levels of the NPS, but also relied heavily on public engagement and interests. It also explores two sub themes, examining the degree to which Native American perspectives have been incorporated into Grand Canyon National Park interpretation, and how important individual personalities have been in shaping interpretation at the Park. Ultimately, the dissertation reveals that interpretation was a complex act, based upon dynamic interrelationships between author and audience, between professional objectives and public and private pressures, and between what messages the NPS wanted to convey and what visitors told the NPS they wanted to hear.

  • Grand Canyon, Exotic Plant Management Environmental
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon National Park Environmental Assessment / Assessment of Effect February 2009 Exotic Plant Management Plan Grand Canyon National Park • Arizona Environmental Assessment / Assessment of Effect Exotic Plant Management Plan Grand Canyon National Park • Arizona Summary Grand Canyon National Park proposes to use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to control and contain exotic plant species within park boundaries. Currently, 189 exotic plant species are known in Grand Canyon National Park; of these, 82 are of serious concern. These exotic plant species displace natural vegetation and consequently affect long-term health of native plant and animal communities. This Environmental Assessment / Assessment of Effect (EA/AEF) evaluates continuation of current exotic plant species management (Alternative 1, No Action) and one additional alternative to address the purpose and need for action (Alternative 2, Preferred). The preferred alternative includes a) integrated pest management; b) increased education, prevention, and collaboration; and c) manual, mechanical, cultural, and chemical controls. The park proposes an adaptive management strategy whereby control methods may be altered, dependant on updated literature or effectiveness in the field. Neither alternative would have more than negligible impacts to soundscape, environmental justice, prime and unique farmland, socioeconomic environment, or Indian trust resources. Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, would result in both adverse and beneficial impacts to vegetation, wildlife, special status species, soil resources, water and aquatic resources, air quality, archaeological and historic resources, cultural landscapes, ethnographic resources, visitor experience, wilderness character, public health and safety, and park operations that would range from negligible to moderate. No impairment of park resources would occur with implementation of either alternative.
