Printed in the United States of America. 10987654321 As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering sound use of our land and water resources; protecting our fish, wildlife, and biological diversity; preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places; and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to ensure that their development is in the best interests of all our people by encouraging stewardship and citizen participation in their care. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island territories under U.S. administration.

    SUMMER 2018 mprpd.org Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District LET’S GO CELEBRATING 10 YEARS! OUTDOORS! Your adventure activities guide for all ages Preserving and Protecting Parks and Open Space AMessagefromtheGeneralManager Dear Friends, The greatest challenges sometimes create the greatest opportunities, resulting in the greatest outcomes. Such was the case when private land owners, the community, The Trust for Public Land, Santa Lucia Conservancy (SLC), Trout Unlimited, Welcome State of California, County of Monterey, Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD), and others combined their vision and work to create the Rancho Cañada unit of Palo Corona Regional Park from the former Rancho Cañada Golf Club. In April, The Trust for Public Land transferred ownership of the property to the residents and visitors of the Central Coast. SLC Executive Director Christy Fischer stated, “From the beginning, this project has been about a community coming together around a shared vision.” MPRPD’s acquisition of Rancho Cañada will facilitate one of the nation’s most significant environmental and cultural resource restoration, preservation and conservation projects. “As this new parkland is restored to improve the health and future of our river, native plants and wildlife, I hope it will also be a place where visitors can learn about and celebrate the ways and wisdom of its first people. It is a great gift to us all.” - Linda Yamane, Rumsen Ohlone Tribal historian “The land had been in our family since the late 1800s. Protecting the land and preserving it for future generations is my family’s way of showing tribute to my great-grandfather, William Hatton.

  • Foundation Document Overview, Pinnacles National Park, California
    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Pinnacles National Park California Contact Information For more information about the Pinnacles National Park Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (831) 389-4485 or write to: Superintendent, Pinnacles National Park, 5000 Highway 146, Paicines, CA 95043 Fundamental Resources and Values Interpretive Themes Fundamental resources and values are those features, systems, processes, experiences, stories, scenes, sounds, smells, or other attributes determined to merit primary consideration during planning and management processes because they are essential to achieving the purpose of the park and maintaining its significance. The following fundamental resources and values have been identified for Pinnacles National Park: • Landforms and Geologic Faults Reflecting Past and Present Tectonic Forces • Scenic Views and Wild Character • Talus Caves Photo by Paul G. Johnson • Opportunities for Research and Study • Native Species and Ecological Processes Interpretive themes are often described as the key stories or concepts that visitors should understand after visiting a park—they define the most important ideas or concepts communicated to visitors about a park unit. Themes are derived from—and should reflect—park purpose, significance, resources, and values. The set of interpretive themes is complete when it provides the structure necessary for park staff to develop opportunities for visitors to explore and relate to all of the park significances and fundamental resources and values. • Over millions of years, the power of volcanism, erosion, and plate tectonics created and transformed the Pinnacles Volcanic Field into the dramatic canyons, monoliths, and rock spires seen today. The offset of the Pinnacles Volcanics from the identical Neenach Volcanics 200 miles to the south provides key evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

  • Sequoia National Forest
    FOREST, MONUMENT, OR PARK? You may see signs for Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks… and wonder what is the difference between these places? All are on federal land. Each exists to benefit society. Yet each has a different history and purpose. Together they provide a wide spectrum of uses. National Forests, managed under a "multiple use" concept, provide services and commodities that may include lumber, livestock grazing, minerals, and recreation with and without vehicles. Forest employees work for the U.S. Forest Service, an agency in the Department of Agriculture. The U.S. Forest Service was created in 1905. National Monuments can be managed by any of three different agencies: the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, or the Bureau of Land Management. They are created by presidential proclamation and all seek to protect specific natural or cultural features. Giant Sequoia National Monument is managed by the U.S. Forest Service and is part of Sequoia National Forest. It was created by former President Bill Clinton in April of 2000. National Parks strive to keep landscapes unimpaired for future generations. They protect natural and historic features while offering light-on-the-land recreation. Park employees work for the National Park Service, part of the Department of the Interior. The National Park Service was created in 1916. Forests, Monuments, and Parks may have different rules in order to meet their goals. Read "Where can I..." below to check out what activities are permitted where within the Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.
