  • Climbing Management Plan/ Finding of No Significant Impact
    FINAL CLIMBING MANAGEMENT PLAN/ FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT February 1995 Devils Tower National Monument Crook County, Wyoming U.S. Dc:nartment of the Interior National Park Service Rocky Mountain Region Final Climbing Management/ Finding of No Significant Impact Devils Tower National Monument Crook County, Wyoming This Final Climbing Management Plan (FCMP)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Devils Tower National Monument sets a new direction for man_ aging climbing activity at the tower for the next three to five years. Its purpose is to protect the natural and cultural resources of Devils Tower and to provide for visitor enjoyment and appreciation of this unique feature. The tower will be managed as a significant natural and cultural resource. The National Park Service will manage Devils Tower as primarily a crack climbing site in such a way that will be more compatible with the butte's geology, soils, vegetation, nesting raptors, visual appearance, and natural quiet. Recreational climbing at Devils Tower will be managed in relation to the tower's significance as a culturat resource. No new bolts or fixed pitons will be permitted on the tower, though replacement of existing bolts and fixed pitons will be allowed. In this way, the NPS intends that there be.no new physical impacts to Devils Tower. In respect for the reverence many American Indians hold for Devils Tower as a sacred site, rock climbers will be asked to voluntarily refrain from climbing on Devils Tower during the culturally significant month of June. The monument's staff will begin interpreting the cultural significance of Devils Tower for all visitors along with the more traditional themes of natural history and rock climbing.

  • Devils Tower National Monument Wyoming
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Devils Tower National Monument Wyoming Environmental Assessment and Assessment of Effect Appendix D for the Devils Tower National Monument Fire Management Plan – 2004 Devils Tower National Monument D-1 Environmental Assessment Fire Management Plan 2004, Appendix D and Assessment of Effect Environmental Assessment and Assessment of Effect Fire Management Plan Devils Tower National Monument • Wyoming Summary Devils Tower National Monument (DETO) comprises 1,347 acres in northeastern Wyoming on the northwestern edge of the Black Hills. The flora and fauna of the monument are typical of the Black Hills region of South Dakota and surrounding area in Wyoming (NPS 1998). The Belle Fourche River, which flows through the eastern side of the monument, is part of the Cheyenne River Basin. Devils Tower, one of the most conspicuous geologic features of the Black Hills region, is made up of igneous rock surrounded by sedimentary rock of the Spearfish, Gypsum Spring, and Sundance formations. Fire represents an ecological factor of significant importance to the monument since it has occurred naturally throughout history. Since the early twentieth century, inhabitants of the Black Hills have actively suppressed wildfire. These suppression activities have altered fire’s natural role in ecosystem maintenance. In the last several decades, DETO has used fire to mimic its natural role for hazard fuel reduction and native prairie restoration. Fire has historically influenced the landscape at DETO. The existing Fire Management Plan (FMP) has been in place since 1991. The National Park Service’s Fire Management Policy (Director’s Order #18: Wildland Fire Management) (DO- 18)(USDI 2002) was revised in 2002, with specific guidance (Reference Manual #18: Wildland Fire Management) (RM- 18) (USDI 1999) implemented in 1999.
