| Purpose of the meeting Staff from the Department of Conservation and Recreation will hold a meeting to receive input regarding the Master Plan for Natural Bridge State Park. The master plan is the long-range plan for infrastructure, amenities, roads, funding and staffing at the park. The plan will be updated every ten years. During the meeting an overview of the park's assets, mission statement, goals and objectives will be discussed. These were developed by the Natural Bridge State Park Advisory Committee, which was formed to assist with the master plan. The committee is made up of local residents, government representatives, Natural Bridge experts, staff and park users. The committee, Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund (VCLF) staff and planners with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation will recommend appropriate amenities for the park, based on site analysis and public input.
