Description of Project:
The National Park Service, National Capital Region, along with the George Washington Memorial Parkway, National Capital Parks-East, and Rock Creek Park, seeks public input on a Management Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Civil War Defenses of Washington, also known as the Fort Circle Parks. The existing greenbelt of parks along the ridge surrounding the city make the Civil War Defenses of Washington a significant open space element in the nation's capital.
This Plan/EA will serve as an amendment to the 2004 Fort Circle Parks General Management Plan (GMP) and will provide updated direction for the use, management, protection and where appropriate, limited development of these sites.
