Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) has extended the Public Scoping period on the Climbing Management Plan (CMP), due to significant public interest. The Public Scoping period will now run until March 13. During this planning phase, Joshua Tree National Park is asking the public to provide comments on management actions being proposed for the Climbing Management Plan. This will be the last time the public will be able to comment until the release of the Draft Environmental Assessment.
