Advancing environmental stewardship in New York state parks and historic sites

Abstract

Ninety state park and historic site managers were engaged in a cooperative problem-solving training exercise to identify what they suggest needs to be done to more effectively manage and protect the natural and cultural resources of the New York State Park System. The QtP (Quality-through-Participation) management process was used for this purpose, and proved effective in determining primary needs and action strategies to facilitate implementation of stewardship ideals and principles on a regional and/or park-specific basis.
