<strong>Mission</strong> Overview<br />

The Management Planning Program budget activity (formerly General Management Planning) supports<br />

all <strong>NPS</strong> goals by providing long-term planning functions for park units and <strong>Service</strong>wide activities. More<br />

specifically, this activity supports preservation of park resources; collaboration with partners; and<br />

provision for visitor enjoyment and recreational opportunities.<br />

Activity Overview<br />

Unit Management Plans<br />

The Unit Management Plan program prepares and maintains comprehensive plans that articulate the<br />

park’s mission and define what resource conditions and visitor experiences should be achieved and<br />

maintained over time. This provides a consistent basis for decision-making by park management. Unit<br />

Management Plans support the Department of Interior’s strategic plan by developing and applying<br />

management strategies to ensure that the park’s environmental quality, cultural integrity, and appropriate<br />

visitor experiences are not eroded by inconsistent actions.<br />

Strategic Planning<br />

The Strategic Planning function has been moved to the <strong>NPS</strong> Budget Office. Accordingly, funding within<br />

this subactivity has been transferred from Management Planning to the Construction Program<br />

Management activity to reflect the functional change from Planning to Management.<br />
