The National Park Service’s master plan for Theodore Roosevelt Island. The plans begins with an introduction outlining the history of the island and asserting its effectiveness as a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. The plan continues with a purpose statement and a list of objectives which fall into three categories; recreation, interpretation and resource management. A breakdown of the regional characteristics of the surrounding area follows including a discussion of the Potomac River and park visitation. Next is a resource description and evaluation which serves to illustrate the importance of the natural features of the island for the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial. The park’s resources are broken down into categories including geology, vegetation, animal life, water resources and history and archeology. Management issues for each of these resources are discussed within each category. A discussion of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial contains a description of the memorial itself as well as recreational and interpretive guidelines to accommodate the island’s new national importance. Other management constrictions addressed include legal factors, preservation, soil erosion, vandalism, access and employment. A chart detailing the priority of needs, several maps and a general development plan conclude the masterplan.
