Celebrating the Contributions of a Community of Preservation: Forest Service Partners and Volunteers
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
National forests contain special places of historic and cultural importance to local communities, Native American tribes and humanity. We rely on partners and volunteers to help us be stewards of these special places. This year we are honoring the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The NHPA helps us maintain our connection to the land learning more about our past while managing for use into the future. This symposium will celebrate the research, interpretive programs, and stewardship efforts developed by the Forest Service together with partners and volunteers. These programs help unite a diverse community, including academics and interested citizens, towards common goals which further understanding, preservation, protection, access, and appreciation of our cultural resources.
