Natural resource management planfor a national park

Recently in Southwest Colorado Archeologists were working on federal land and have confirmed the oldest human settlement of 35,000 thousand years in the Americas. The Federal government has recently made this a site along with the thousands of acres surrounding it part of the National Park System. The park slopes from the Northwest to the Southeast and is about 4 to 6 thousand feet in elevation. The park receives approximately 18 inches of rain a year, most of which is in the NW leaving the SE a semi arid grassland. The vegetation of the park ranges from pinon pine in the NW to scrubby bushes in the central part of the park then to grasslands in the SE. The highest point in the park is the volcano that sits just northwest the center of the park. Besides the significant amount of groundwater in the park there are no known feasible mineral deposits found in the area.
