Hello - Please join us for the next in our regular monthly series of free Department of the Interior Library Park Ranger Speaker Series lectures, "The National Natural Landmarks Program" next Tuesday, December 18th from 1:00 - 1:45 pm in the DOI Library. The National Park Service's National Natural Landmarks Program (NNLP) recognizes and encourages the conservation of outstanding examples of our country's natural history. It is the only natural areas program of national scope that identifies and recognizes the best examples of biological and geological features in both public and private ownership. National Natural Landmarks are designated by the Secretary of the Interior, with the owner's concurrence. To date, just under 600 sites have been designated. The National Park Service administers this program, and if requested, assists landmark owners and managers with the conservation of these important sites. Please join NNLP Manager Heather Germaine for a look at the National Natural Landmarks Program and how for 45 years this program has worked with both the public and private sector to preserve our nation’s unique natural landmarks. All are welcome to attend, government and general public. The Department of the Interior Library is located in the Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in Washington. Please call the DOI Library at (202) 208-3796 or contact us via e-mail at [log in to unmask] if you have any questions.
