The National Park Service will improve the ecological health of eastern forests in 38 parks using an array of management techniques. The NPS has selected forest ecosystems of high ecological and cultural value across multiple parks from Virginia to Maine that are at greatest risk of forest loss due to chronic and interacting stressors.

Fossil Cnidarians - Corals, Jellyfish, and Sea Anemones
- Type: Article
Fossils of bryozoans (“moss animals”) that are typically found as part of marine assemblages in many national parks. These filter-feeding colonial animals were individually microscopic so even their colonies, usually shaped like branching twigs or net-like and lacy forms, themselves are quite small.

Until recently, little information has existed about bat populations in Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. But recent research is determining presence, hibernation locations, and types of species that make their home here. Using acoustical surveys and mist nets to capture bats, three new species of bats have been identified, making a total of nine bat species now known in Glacier National Park.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park
Una Vida
- Type: Place
Una Vida is one of Chaco's earliest great houses built around 850 CE (Common Era). Una Vida exists today in a near-natural state of preservation, free from major vandalism, and with only minor excavations and preservation repairs. A one-mile roundtrip (including petroglyphs) trail begins at the NE corner of the Visitor Center parking lot. Portions are rocky, steep, and slippery when wet. Take water and travel in small groups to lessen our impacts to this fragile site.

Water Reuse: Rain Water Harvesting
- Type: Article
The National Park Service’s Green Parks Plan calls for parks and partners to achieve net-zero water use for facilities and operations. Concessioners of all sizes can learn from their practice. A simple polyurethane drum placed outside to collect rainwater provides the majority of the concessioner’s non-potable water needs for operations like rinsing sand off gear and guests.

From coast to coast, the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division is helping park managers improve the health and function of forest ecosystems. From promoting resilient forests in the Northeast, to conserving whitebark pine in the West, to protecting Hawaiian forest birds from avian malaria, scientific partnerships are helping parks to share information, leverage funding sources, and work together for outcomes that extend beyond what any park could accomplish on its own.

In Appalachia, forests are crucial to the health of ecosystems and local communities in and around National Parks. However, forest health monitoring in eastern National Parks has shown that park forests are rapidly changing, and don’t have enough tree regeneration to replace canopy trees as they fall or die. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds are being used to support the Resilient Forest Initiative in the restoration efforts within these parks.
- Type: Article
As part of the ongoing conversation about managing resilient forests, short briefs on the resilience and regeneration status of each NCR park are now available. These summaries are based on 12 years of NPS forest vegetation monitoring data.

cadia’s forests is that they are in good condition. In fact, Acadia’s forests are in better condition than many national parks south of us, which are often seriously impacted by invasive plant species or overabundance of white-tailed deer—often both. But to the layperson's eye, the forests may look 'messy.' Learn more about how Acadia's messy forests are healthy.

A healthy forest needs to have enough tree seedlings and saplings to regenerate the forest canopy after a disturbance. Analysis of NPS I&M and other long-term datasets makes it clear that many eastern national parks lack adequate tree regeneration due to decades of over browsing by white-tailed deer.

Park forests are threatened by invasive plants and pests. Strategically tackling invasive plants to protect park’s highest priority natural resources and planning around forest pests and pathogens are important actions in managing resilient forests.
