2017. Resource Stewardship Strategy Summary: Richmond National Battlefield Park. National Park Service

A resource stewardship strategy (RSS) is a long-range dynamic planning tool for a national park unit to set specific goals and track progress in achieving its desired natural and cultural resource conditions. As part of a park’s planning portfolio, the resource stewardship strategy serves as a bridge between the park’s foundation document, other plans, and everyday management of its natural and cultural resources. This summary document is intended to give readers an overview of the resource stewardship strategy for Richmond National Battlefield Park. This summary document includes brief descriptions of the park’s priority resources and their components, some of the high-priority stewardship strategies for these resources (which include stewardship goals and specific activities to fulfill the goals), and a list of key issues, stressors, and threats affecting park resources. The summary concludes by looking at ongoing implementation of the resource stewardship strategy. It is important to remember that implementation of the resource stewardship strategy is an ongoing process, with updates and revisions occurring as resource and management conditions change and strategies are executed.
