Welcome to the Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area (FFNHA) management plan webpage!

The completion of a general management plan is one of the National Park Service requirements for all new National Heritage Areas.  This plan is being completed as a follow-up to the Feasibility Study that was completed several years ago as part of the National Heritage Area designation process. The FFNHA management planning process kicked off in February 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by February 2009.  The completed management plan will serve as a guide or a “partnership handbook” for the administration, development, management and preservation of historic, cultural and natural assets in this region by FFNHA over the next decade.  Your feedback on the items listed below will be critical to help shape the plan during this year-long process.  Participating in the monthly Partnership Team meetings is a great way to learn more about what is going on and to share your ideas.  Be sure to check back on this website as well to learn more about where we are in the planning process.

Click on the "What is the Status of the Plan?" link to find out where FFNHA is in the management planning process.  Key documents for different phases in the development of the management plan can be found in this section.

Click on the "How do I comment?" link to learn more about different ways that you can comment on draft documents and surveys. 

Click on the "Additional Documents" link to find press releases, monthly reports on the progress of the management plan, list of committee members and other documents related to the planning process.   You may also want to check the “Meetings” section of the general FFNHA website to find agendas, minutes, handouts and presentations for the monthly Partnership Team meetings.
