Present Land Use
Wilsonia Historic District within Kings Canyon National Park
Document Description
The NPS is considering options for the future of 12 NPS-owned properties within the Wilsonia area of Kings Canyon National Park. The purpose of the project is to develop a comprehensive and feasible strategy for the future disposition of the 12 NPS-owned structures in the Wilsonia Historic District, while meeting legal requirements, and protecting park natural and cultural resources. It is important to determine the buildings' future use in order to avoid the environmental impacts and operational issues that stem from prolonged vacancy and lack of regular maintenance, sometimes referred to as "benign neglect". The environmental assessment evaluates a no action alternative and six action alternatives that address the objectives of the disposition plan.
