The study focuses on the values attached to the park and its resources by members of the traditionally associated community of Sulphur. The purpose of this study is to assist park management in making informed decisions by providing an understanding of the park’s relationship with the town of Sulphur. The study focuses on the values attached to the park and its resources by members of the traditionally associated community of Sulphur. During a strategic planning session at the park in February 1996, park staff identified management issues that have arisen because of the historical relationship between the town and the park, as the town and its residents have been closely linked since the 1880s. These issues provided the baseline for the initiation of ethnographic fieldwork in September 1996.
