Foundation Document: Richmond National Battlefield Park

2017. Foundation Document: Richmond National Battlefield Park. National Park Service

This foundation document was prepared for Richmond National Battlefield Park as a collaborative effort between park and regional staff. Every unit of the national park system will have a foundational document to provide basic guidance for planning and management decisions—a foundation for planning and management. The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park as well as the park’s purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, other important resources and values, and interpretive themes. The foundation document also includes special mandates and administrative commitments, an assessment of planning and data needs that identifies planning issues, planning products to be developed, and the associated studies and data required for park planning. Along with the core components, the assessment provides a focus for park planning activities and establishes a baseline from which planning documents are developed.
