There is currently no approved general management plan for the monument. The purpose of the general management plan is to establish a comprehensive vision of the monument’s purpose, significance, and resource goals. The plan will also define the management strategies for protecting the monument’s resources, providing for public understanding and enjoyment, ensuring organizational effectiveness, and promoting partnership opportunities that will support and complement all aspects of park management. The plan will help monument staff guide programs and set priorities for resource stewardship, visitor use and experience, partnerships, facilities, and operations at Hovenweep National Monument. The National Park Service developed a draft general management plan and environmental assessment for Hovenweep in the mid-1980s and released a draft in 1988. The draft plan proposed a resource protection zone encompassing Bureau of Land Management lands with nationally significant cultural resources surrounding the Hovenweep units and a cooperative management strategy to protect these resources. The 1988 draft plan was never finalized. This document examines two alternatives for managing Hovenweep National Monument for the next 15 to 20 years.
