Valles Caldera National Preserve Physical, Cultural and Socioeconomic Setting. Existing Condition Report.

摘要

The Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP), located in north-central New Mexico, primarily in Sandoval County, was acquired in 2000 through Public Law 106-248 as a unit of National Forest System (NFS) land, but is managed by the Valles Caldera Trust (VCT) a wholly owned government corporation created by the enabling legislation. The trust is governed by a nine member Board of Trustees, seven of which are presidentially appointed and two ex-officio appointments: the Superintendant of Bandelier National Monument and the Santa Fe National Forest Supervisor.
