Pea Ridge National Military Park » Pea Ridge NMP Vegetation Management Plan Environmental Assessment
The Park has developed a Vegetation Management Plan to establish methods by which to create and then maintain the historic patterns to maximize benefits to the natural and cultural resources. As part of this effort, the NPS has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for an evaluation of alternatives for the Vegetation Management Plan. The plan will look at a variety of treatment options to replicate the vegetative conditions existing in 1862 from farm fields and pastures to forested areas.
