Grand Canyon, Ariz. - On January 15, 2013, at 10:30 am, the National Park Service held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Science and Resource Management building on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park across the street from Park Headquarters.
Park Superintendent Dave Uberuaga and other special guests dedicated the new state of the art facility which is on track to receive a Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
LEED is a third party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings and Platinum is the highest rating obtainable. This facility would be the 12th LEED certified building in the National Park Service and only the 6th LEED Platinum certified building in the National Park Service. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn.

December 2012: Science and Resource Management Warehouse.
Construction has almost been completed on the park's new Science and Resource Management Facility, near Market Plaza and just south and east of Park Headquarters. Visitors will notice the construction as they pass by the site, but at this time, impacts to park traffic flow will be minimal.. NPS photo by Michael Quinn.
..
The new facility will be approximately 8,500 square feet, consist of two floors, be universally accessible, and will include employee offices, general work space, meeting space, restrooms, a small public-use library, and storage...
..
A new parking area will also be constructed at the facility that will accommodate government vehicles, park staff and those visiting the facility. The new facility is also adjacent to a network of trails and nearby shuttle bus stops that will allow for employees to walk, bike or ride the park shuttle bus to and from work...

Stained inner bark of Port Orford cedar killed by root disease (Phytophthora lateralis).
"Port-Orford-cedar root disease is best identified by the cinnamon-colored inner bark and cambium that abruptly joins creamy white, healthy inner bark in roots and lower boles. Just prior to tree death, the discolored zone may extend 2 to 5 feet aboveground. This symptom is most readily seen on trees that are wilted or yellow. In trees that have been dead for several months, all the inner bark tissues are brown, dry, and often full of galleries made by cedar bark beetles."

Grand Canyon National Park fire managers have been initiating prescribed pile burning during the last week of May, 2019, as weather and fuel moisture conditions allow. This photo was taken on Thursday, May 30, 2019. As part of the South Rim Piles Project, they have been burning 3,500 piles of woody debris east and west of South Entrance Road and south of Highway 64 (Desert View Drive) East. These 5'x5'x5' piles are comprised of slash left after mechanical thinning or cutting of trees within the 150 acre project area, and are being burned as part of a key objective of the project, which is to reduce the fuel load.
Smoke from the South Rim Piles Project will be most visible during ignition operations and will likely gradually diminish after ignitions are completed. Smoke impacts to Highway 64 should be minimal, but drivers are advised to move along the highway slowly with their lights on, avoid stopping in areas where fire personnel are working, and follow directions of signs and personnel. There are no road closures anticipated at this time.
Smoke will also be visible from various locations on the North and South rims, including Grand Canyon Village. Fire managers are working with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality-Smoke Management Division to reduce and mitigate potential smoke impacts.
Prescribed fires play an important role in decreasing risks to life, resources, and property. Fire managers carefully plan prescribed fires, initiating them only under environmental conditions that are favorable to firefighter and visitor safety and achieving the desired objectives. Prescribed fire objectives include reducing accumulations of hazard fuels, maintaining the natural role of fire in a fire-adapted ecosystem, and protection of sensitive natural and cultural resources.
Information about the South Rim Piles Project can be found on Twitter @GrandCanyonNPS, on Inciweb at inciweb.nwcg.gov, or by calling 928-638-7819 for recorded fire information.
