THIS PROJECT WILL IMPROVE SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER TO MANAGERS OF SEVERAL NATIONAL PARK UNITS ACROSS FIVE STATES. PARKS REQUIRE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONDITION OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO MAKE TIMELY AND INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT MANAGEMENT ACTIONS SUCH AS PRESCRIBED FIRE, FUEL REDUCTION, AND INVASIVE SPECIES TREATMENTS. THE PROJECT OBJECTIVE WILL BE TO USE PLAIN LANGUAGE TEXT AND INFORMATION RICH GRAPHICS TO CONVEY KEY INFORMATION LEARNED FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INVENTORY AND MONITORING PROGRAM. MEDIA WILL INCLUDE NPS REPORTS, SHORT INFORMATION BRIEFS, AND NEWSLETTERS. THE PRODUCTS OF THIS COLLABORATION WILL SUPPORT PARK RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND PROVIDE IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR PARK VISITORS. THIS WORK IS BEING COMPLETED PER THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED IN THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE OMNIBUS MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1998.
