11/17/2008 - 2:01pmKeeping History Honest When It Comes to Sight Lines In Civil War-era National Parks Is Not Without ControversyI think some clearing is ok and that only some areas of the battlefields should be cleared of non-historic plants if the area has limited other non-historic improvements or removed as well. In addition, not all of the trees have to be removed.
11/13/2008 - 2:55pmOur Only Privately-Owned National Park Celebrates a Birthday and a Vital Conservation EasementI wonder if this or a National Herritage model would have worked better for Steamtown, even though it would have made a great State Park not a National one for which it is unsuited.

11/07/2008 - 4:55pmGlory, Shame, and Remembrance at Colorado’s Sand Creek Massacre National Historic SiteNo, I wish The best we have is the Boston Harbor Islands where Indians were held after the war in concenstration camps.

10/24/2008 - 11:26amIMBA: Not Every Park Suitable For Mountain Biking, No Interests, Currently, For Trails in Wilderness AreasDapster [quote]I promised not to digress, yet I feel I must. One last time.... Having worked at Fire Island National Seashore, I recognize the materials used to close beaches TEMPORARILY to protect nesting plovers.

10/21/2008 - 4:55pmPruning the Parks: Mar-a-Lago National Historic Site (1972-1980) Was a Gift the National Park Service Couldn’t Afford to KeepWhat's funny is that this may have not been a bad thing as it is still a NHL with easements granted to the National Trust for Historic Preservations. It is one the only sites of its knid still left and is in great shape.

09/25/2008 - 2:58pmArchaeological Survey At Big South Fork River National River and Recreation AreaChance is right, Because the people who would pay for the study at my park are NPS (In fact they don't own any land).

09/24/2008 - 4:47pmArchaeological Survey At Big South Fork River National River and Recreation AreaHmm......Good for them now only if we could do the same at the park I volunteer at, The Boston Harbor Islands.
