Coalition Executive Council

Mission and Guiding Principles

Vision:

The CNPSR participates in the national dialog regarding the management of America’s National Park System. The Coalition is considered to be a principal stakeholder in the planning and decision-making processes, a status that reflects the more than 11,000 years of experience in National Park Service management and operations that its members possess. The Coalition works with other interested parties to assure that management decisions made by current NPS leaders are consistent with the legislative guidelines enacted by previous Congresses.

Mission:

We will speak and act for the preservation and protection of America’s national park areas and for the enjoyment of them in such manner that does not impair their resources nor their intended values and purposes.

Press Statement : Jerry Rogers Regarding Management Policies

This radical rewrite stands nearly 100 years of national park stewardship on its head.

Welcome!

My name is Jerry Rogers. i am a member of the executive council of the coalition of national park service retirees … at the national park service, i was honored to be the associate director for cultural resources from 1983 THROUGH 1994.

i am here today to echo Bill’s very serious concerns. no one rewrites 195 pages of national park service rules and circulates them in the upper echelons of the interior department without the blessing of their “higher ups.”
