The National Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. The NPS core values are a framework in which the National Park Service accomplishes its mission. They express the manner in which, both individually and collectively, the National Park Service pursues its mission. The NPS core values are: · Shared stewardship: We share a commitment to resource stewardship with the global preservation community. · Excellence: We strive continually to learn and improve so that we may achieve the highest ideals of public service. · Integrity: We deal honestly and fairly with the public and one another. · Tradition: We are proud of it; we learn from it; we are not bound by it. · Respect: We embrace each other’s differences so that we may enrich the well- being of everyone. The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department of the Interior. While numerous national park system units were created prior to 1916, it was not until August 25, 1916, that President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Park Service Organic Act formally establishing the National Park Service. The national park system continues to grow and comprises more than 400 park units covering more than 84 million acres in every state, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These units include, but are not limited to, national parks, monuments, battlefields, military parks, historical parks, historic sites, lakeshores, seashores, recreation areas, scenic rivers and trails, and the White House. The variety and diversity of park units throughout the nation require a strong commitment to resource stewardship and management to ensure both the protection and enjoyment of these resources for future generations. The arrowhead was authorized as the official National Park Service emblem by the Secretary of the Interior on July 20, 1951. The sequoia tree and bison represent vegetation and wildlife, the mountains and water represent scenic and recreational values, and the arrowhead represents historical and archeological values. 1 Foundation Document Introduction Every unit of the national park system will have a foundational document to provide basic guidance for planning and management decisions—a foundation for planning and management. The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park as well as the park’s purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, other important resources and values, and interpretive themes. The foundation document also includes special mandates and administrative commitments, an assessment of planning and data needs that identifies planning issues, planning products to be developed, and the associated studies and data required for park planning. Along with the core components, the assessment provides a focus for park planning activities and establishes a baseline from which planning documents are developed. A primary benefit of developing a foundation document is the opportunity to integrate and coordinate all kinds and levels of planning from a single, shared understanding of what is most important about the park. The process of developing a foundation document begins with gathering and integrating information about the park. Next, this information is refined and focused to determine what the most important attributes of the park are. The process of preparing a foundation document aids park managers, staff, and the public in identifying and clearly stating in one document the essential information that is necessary for park management to consider when determining future planning efforts, outlining key planning issues, and protecting resources and values that are integral to park purpose and identity. While not included in this document, a park atlas is also part of a foundation project. The atlas is a series of maps compiled from available geographic information system (GIS) data on natural and cultural resources, visitor use patterns, facilities, and other topics. It serves as a GIS-based support tool for planning and park operations. The atlas is published as a (hard copy) paper product and as geospatial data for use in a web mapping environment. The park atlas for Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve can be accessed online at: http://insideparkatlas.nps.gov/. 2 Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve Part 1: Core Components The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park, park purpose, significance statements, fundamental resources and values, other important resources and values, and interpretive themes. These components are core because they typically do not change over time.

    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages.

Embracing large, diverse, and complex geologic features, the park is in an area that is critical to the interpretation of many significant regional geologic problems. In order to provide basic data bearing on these problems, the U.S. Geological Survey in 1965 initiated a broad pro­ gram of comprehensive geologic and geophysical investigations within the park. This program was carried out with the cooperation of the National Park Service, and was also aided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which supported the gathering of geologic information needed in testing and in interpreting results from various remote sensing devices. This professional paper chapter is one of a series of technical geo­ logic reports resulting from these investigations.

THE BUFFALO RIVER: A JURISPRUDENCE OF PRESERVATION John W Ragsdale, Jr. * In the middle of the country lie the Ozark Mountains, islands of green and rumpled respite from the human-dominated sameness of the surrounding plains. These lower-case mountains, though less im­ posing than their eastern or western counterparts, are nonetheless interesting, exciting and often untamed. There is particular wildness and isolation in the hollows because the highways, unlike those in the western mountains, have tended to run on the ridge crests. The crystal streams in these roadless valleys, though usually calmer than the snow-fed chargers of the Colorado Rockies, still have numerous rapids and shoals whose allure is enhanced by their solitude. At the center of this verdant repose of highlands, forest and waters is the Buffalo River, a free-flowing stream throughout its length and a place of incomparable beauty.

    DEVELOPMENT OF A NORTH AMERICAN SURVEY FOR MONITORING SHOREBIRD POPULATIONS Report to: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Patuxent Wildlife Research Center Laurel, MD 20708 Prepared by: Brian A. Barrington Gary W. Page Manomet Bird Observatory Point Reyes Bird Observatory P.O. Box 1770 4990 Shoreline Highway Manomet MA 02345 Stinson Beach CA 94970 Assisted by; James E. Lyons & Janet E. Kjelmyr & u. Cartar w. David Shuford Manomet Bird Observatory Point Reyes Bird Observatory September 1991 1 SYNOPSIS Tasks The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of a survey for North American shorebird populations that will provide reliable annual indices to population sizes of as many species as possible and allow analysis of long-term population changes to be conducted. Specific tasks were: 1. To identify all known spring and fall migration stopovers in North America for which a typical migration peak is at least 5000 shorebirds and to provide information on ownership, accessibility, special logistical considerations and habitat stability. (We added to this the identification of all sites likely to hold 5000 or more shorebirds during winter.) 2. To propose a sampling protocol that focuses on the identified sites and considers census frequency, best time of year for counts, ef feet of migration timing on counts, · and need for team census approach. The potential effectiveness of the sampling protocol must be analyzed for all species of North American shorebirds. The sampling protocol must include a rational for omitting any significant
