National Park Service

Description

On March 30, 2009, H.R.146, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 as Public Law 111-11. Title VIII, Subtitle A, Section 8002 of the Act was approved and establishes the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area hereafter CALA as a successor to the Cache la Poudre River Corridor. CALA, as established by this legislation, has as its management entity the Poudre Heritage Alliance hereafter PHA, a Colorado non-profit corporation. The PHA has been in existence since 1999, and through the cooperation of local entities with assistance from the National Park Service the PHA recently had its Management Plan for the heritage area approved by the Department of Interior. National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography. These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them. These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation.
