To facilitate multi-disciplinary science and integrated information products related to the resources of the national park system. To maintain a comprehensive network cooperative study units as will provide full geographic and topical coverage for research, technical assistance, and educational activities related to the resources contained in units of the national park system and their larger regions. This project involves historical landscape architects and other specialists as necessary to do the research, fieldwork, writing, graphics, and editing needed to complete a CLI and CLR part II: treatment recommendations for amache national historic site (amch). Amch preserves and interprets the site of granada relocation center (amache) where more than 10,000 people were denied their civil liberties by the federal government during world war II. Amch is a unique setting and contains the most visibly intact examples of a WRA incarceration site of world war II. The concrete foundations of barracks and communal buildings, original gravel roads and infrastructure help convey the regimentation, crowding, and lack of privacy that was experienced at amache. Due to this significance on the site, amache was designated a national historic landmark in 2006. The resource has high significance, and development of a CLI CLR part II is of the highest park priorities.beneficiaries include state and local governments, federally recognized indian tribal governments, public private nonprofit organizations, nonprofit institutions of higher education, and individuals (including members of the general public).for more information and guidance, refer to NPS financial assistance policy guidance document on usaspending.GOV award descriptions (project abstracts), or contact the NPS financial assistance policy office at financial assitance
