Abstract
The U.S. Forest Service manages specially-designated areas and national monuments, protected either by
Congressional legislation or by the President via proclamation under the authority of the Antiquities Act. These
areas have been designated for their special characteristics and the unique opportunities they offer. They were
protected in perpetuity for a range of ecological and social benefits such as scenic beauty, recreation opportunities,
wildlife habitat, and watershed protection. The intent and management objectives for each are distinct and unique.
This fact sheet provides an overview of the Mt. Pleasant National Scenic Area, based on interviews with USFS
personnel and partnership organizations that work together to manage the area.
