This grant is for the purpose of redrafting the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area’s (GLCA) Archaeological Resources Protection Plan (ARPP). The updated plan will formalize new monitoring and protection methods, strategize public interpretation of sensitive information, and prioritize protection efforts. It will incorporate 45 years of archaeological data collected since GLCA’s creation, serving as a foundation for new interpretive materials. Given increasing visitor use and changing land-based backcountry activities, this revision is crucial for preserving sites. The project will also involve youth in resource stewardship through employment and engage the public by disseminating results, guiding future resource-protection initiatives like those addressing livestock grazing and cultural resource assessment.

| Description: | Glen Canyon National Recreation Areaâ¿¿s (GLCA) â¿¿Archaeological Resources Protection Planâ¿ (ARPP) was written in 1996 and received one minor update in 2002. Since that time, GLCAâ¿¿s understanding of the recreation areaâ¿¿s archeological record, the factors adversely affecting that record, and documentation methods have significantly improved. Additionally, visitor use of GLCA and Rainbow Bridge National Monument (RABR) is both increasing and changing; specifically, land-based backcountry use of the recreation area and monument is dramatically expanding. Given these changes, it is necessary for GLCA to redraft the ARPP to 1) formalize newly developed monitoring and protection methods to better preserve sites for visitor enjoyment 2) strategize on how to provide baseline information for public interpretation while protecting the sensitive nature of the information, and 3) update monitoring, inventory, and protection priorities. An ARPP, incorporating these revisions, will significantly aid GLCA in protecting and interpreting the parkâ¿¿s archaeology for the public. For example, the ARPP will synthesize 45 years of archeological resource information collected since the creation of GLCA and thereby serve as the foundation for new interpretive materials. The Recipient will also involve youth in resource stewardship through employment opportunities and engage the public through disseminating project results outside of NPS contexts. Finally, the ARPP will be a key guiding document for youth-engagement fieldwork and resource-protection projects including PMIS project 229429: â¿¿Develop Cultural Resource Stewardship Plan Component to Treat Livestock Grazing Impactsâ¿, PMIS project 198861 â¿¿AR-Conduct Assessment to Determine if Impairment of Lakeshore Cultural Resources Exists, GLCAâ¿, and PMIS project 218209 â¿¿Develop Cultural Resources Stewardship Plan for Backcountry Roads and ORV Routes/Areas.â¿ |
