A Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) serves the National Park Service (NPS) in both documenting the history and significance of cultural landscapes and providing guidance for both dat-to-day and long-term management and interpretation. To this end, the CLR for the John Muir National Historic Site consists of a narration of landscape history, an inventory and analysis of existing conditions and landscape significance, and treatment recommendations and actions consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
