Excerpt from Zion National Park General Management Plan As one of 384 units in the national park system, Zion National Park is under the management of the National Park Service (nps). The Park Service manages all park units in accordance with the mandate in its 1916 Organic Act and other legislation to conserve resources unim paired for the enjoyment of future generations. To help achieve this mandate, the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 and nps Management Policies (nps 2001) require each national park unit to have a broad-scale general management plan (gmp). The purpose of this General Management Plan is to describe the general path the National Park Service intends to follow in managing Zion National Park over the next 20 years. The plan does not provide specific and detailed answers to every issue or question facing Zion. However, the plan does provide a framework for proactive decision making on such issues as visitor use, natural and cultural resource management, and park development, which will allow park man agers to effectively address future problems and opportunities.
