Business Plan, FY 2001-2005, Redwood National and State Parks

RNSP

The National Park Service’s Business Plan Initiative (BPI) is a collaboration among the National Park Service (NPS), the National Parks Conservation Association, and a consortium of private foundations led by the Kendall Foundation. It is a creative public/private partnership developed to improve the NPS’ ability to address full operational costs for parks and to communicate park responsibilities and financial need to outside audiences. The initiative’s purpose is to increase the financial management capabilities in park units, thus enabling the NPS to communicate more clearly with principal stakeholders. Since the program was formally initiated in 1997, business plans have been produced for 25 national parks by consultants selected from leading business schools and public policy graduate programs. Redwood National Park was one of the 13 participating parks in the summer of 2000. This plan analyzes the functional responsibilities, operational standards, financial picture, and future funding requirements of Redwood National Park. It also provides a framework for future development and strategies to meet the park’s needs.
