Availability of Record of Decision for the General Management Plan for Cane River Creole National Historical Park, LA

摘要

The U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service signed a Record of Decision (March 29, 2001) on a General Management Plan for Cane River Creole National Historical Park. The National Park Service will implement Alternative 1, the preferred alternative, as described in the Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement. Cane River Creole National Historical Park will persevere and rehabilitate the cultural landscapes, historic structures, and artifacts of the two park units, Oakland and Magnolia Plantations, to reflect the continuum of history up to about 1960. This will result in few changes to the current configuration of plantation structures or the general appearance of the landscape. The long history of the plantations and the major cultural, social, and economic stories of Louisiana plantation lifeways and agriculture that they represent will be told (interpreted) to the public. Based on research and documentation, accounts of the lives and lifestyles of the people who lived and worked at the plantations will be shared through media and programs. The park will provide access, parking, trails, and basic visitor services at each unit. Development at Oak
