Cuyahoga Valley National Park to Get Funding Increase
Wants to Know What Citizens Envision for the Park's Future
by WKSU's KAREN SCHAEFER


Reporter
Karen Schaefer
 
The U.S. Department of the Interior wants to know what citizens would do with an extra 3-billion dollars to upgrade the National Park system. Over the next decade President Bush has proposed a public/private partnership to create this fund in time for the 100th anniversary of the national parks in 2016. Tonight (Monday) the deputy secretary will hold a listening session at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to hear what citizens envision.

One of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park's biggest enticements is the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.  New federal funding could help the railway expand into downtown Cleveland.
Spring Hill Farm is one of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park's efforts to maintain the rural character of the park through its Countryside Initiative.
Many visitors come just for the natural beauty.  Here spring comes to a log jam on the Chippewa Creek, seen from the park road that paralles much of the the Towpath Trail.
