BUSHKILL, PA — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area wants your input so that park managers, partners and stakeholders can plan appropriately for the next century. The park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and the National Park Service (NPS) is celebrating its Centennial in 2016. A series of public listening sessions and focus group meetings are scheduled to solicit input from the public about visitor use in the park.

The NPS will host two public listening sessions to provide information on the Visitor Use Management Plan: on April 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Terraview Event Facility at Stroudsmoor Country Inn, 231 Stroudsmoor Rd., Stroudsburg, PA, and on April 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, 707 U.S. Highway 46 East, Parsippany, NJ. Those who cannot attend the meetings in person can review recorded presentations and provide input online at www.parkplanning.nps.gov/dewa.
