Vegetation Management Plan Nez Perce National Historical Park and Big Hole National Battlefield
Ambrose LJ and Tripepi RR. 2002. Vegetation Management Plan Nez Perce National Historical Park and Big Hole National Battlefield
Thirty-eight historical sites have been established along the 1,170-mile trail, and the National Park Service manages these sites. Each site has its own unique story as well as its own vegetation to be managed. The diversity of the sites is the reason that each should be managed individually. Currently, the National Park Service has only a general management plan that serves as a loose guide for managing all thirty-eight sites of the Nez Perce National Historical Park (NEPE). A more site-specific guide is needed to help site managers solve individual vegetation management problems that are not addressed in the general plan. This vegetation management plan addresses the following: Assessment of vegetation composition Outline of soil types. Documents concerns for hazard trees. Outline of scheduled routine landscape maintenance.
