It has been a while since you have last received a newsletter from us. My apologies. We are always thrilled to be able to tell the world about everything we have going on – past, present and future – at Roger Williams National Memorial and Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, but changes to our National Park Service public communication requirements meant that we had to recalibrate our newsletter system. Now that our newsletter is back, we have a lot to share about our upcoming virtual Parked at Home education series, great past programs and projects, upcoming volunteer opportunities, and ongoing preservation efforts.
As Superintendent, my senior staff and I also have been busy working with national and regional planners to craft the General Management Plan for the Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, for which the public comment period should be open this spring for the Environmental Assessment required for the plan under the National Environmental Policy Act. We are excited to be planning additional site improvements at both parks as the weather turns warmer and to be busy preparing for expanded programming at Roger Williams National Memorial and the re-opening to the public of sites and programs at Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park this spring. So, I invite you to read about our compelling virtual offerings, learn about our past successes and think about volunteering to help host guests and beautify our parks while our industrious staff continues to do the great things they do to keep our two great parks relevant, preserved, educational, recreational and inviting to one and all.
