Letter from the new superintendent of Petroglyph National Monument
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
My name is Nancy Hendricks and I’m the new superintendent of Petroglyph National Monument. As our neighbors, you know how much the monument means to the area’s residents. Many of you visit the monument frequently, even daily, and spend time walking or running on the trails, escaping the city and immersing yourselves in the peace and quiet of the canyons, viewing the petroglyphs, and enjoying the birds, wildlife, and amazing natural resources of the area. I have walked many of the trails in the monument already, and the resources we protect are incredible. The monument is not only a locally significant resource, it is sacred to our area tribes, and, because of its national park designation, it is nationally and even internationally significant. We get visitors from all over the world!
I would like to meet with you and discuss the important role you play in the protection of the monument, and provide you with an update of where we are in the implementation of our Visitor Use Management Plan. I also would like to hear from you if you have concerns or issues you’d like to share with me. I’d be happy to attend one of your community / association meetings this fall / winter. Alternatively, I’ll be hosting an evening open house at our visitor center off Western Trail on December 4, 2019, from 5 pm to 7 pm, where I’ll share park updates, and provide time for your questions. Refreshments will be served. Please help me spread the word about this event to your community members.
If you’d like me to attend one of your community meetings, or if you would like more information on the December 4th open house – or if you have any questions or concerns about the monument, please contact me by email at nancy_hendricks@nps.gov or call me at 505-899-0205 ext. 222.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all!
Thank you,
Nancy Hendricks
