Carlsbad Caverns National Park is offering this grant to develop a comprehensive Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) and a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination for its primary underground tourist walkways. This grant is for systematically documenting and analyzing all cultural features, their impacts, and interrelationships with the cave’s natural systems. The project will establish a historic context, assess significance, and evaluate the integrity of these unique underground resources, providing a baseline for long-term cave monitoring and guiding future park management strategies. A key objective is to foster collaboration between cultural and natural resource disciplines, involving students from the University of Arkansas to train the next generation of preservation professionals.

| Description: | This project will create a Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) and associated National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination for the primary tourist walkways within the underground landscape of CAVE. The project will include an inventory and analysis of all associated cultural features, impacts and relationships with cave natural systems, and views associated with the trail system. The documents will contain a historic context, statement of significance, and evaluation of integrity of the inventoried resources and underground cultural landscape. A Determination of Eligibility (DOE) will result from this process. If found eligible, a NRHP nomination will be completed. As a living document, the CLI is updated every 6-10 years. The initial research created in this document will provide a baseline for cave monitoring, including how natural and cultural resources impact each other over time to guide park management strategies in the future. The final project reports and findings will be uploaded to IRMA, the NPS public access site.
The project will engage student involvement through partnership with the University of Arkansas. Student engagement insures training of next generation scientists and preservation professionals. This project will focus on collaboration between cultural and natural resources, providing a critical and unique learning experience. |
