National Park Service. 1985. Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, Alaska : general management plan, land protection plan, Charley Wild River management plan, wilderness suitability review. NPS D-2102A. National Park Service. Washington, DC
This document contains an integrated set of plans for Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. The general management plan calls for retaining the Preserve's existing wild character. Major issues addressed include natural and cultural resources, public use and visitor services, Park operations, and development. Most development for administrative and visitor use will be outside the Preserve boundary. The land protection plan identifies nonfederal ownership and uses and offers technical assistance or economic incentives to private landowners in exchange for agreement to manage their lands in a manner compatible with the management plan. The Charley Wild River management plan provides management direction to carry out its designation as a national wild river. It would be managed to perpetuate its resource values, with use limited if necessary to sustain a recreational experience in a setting with little evidence of man's activity. The wilderness suitability review identifies 71% of the Preserve, including the entire Charley River watershed, as suitable for wilderness designation.
