The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) of the National Park Service in Washington, DC, has opened its 2013 Battlefield Planning Grants competition. The ABPP awards grants for preservation projects that lead directly to the identification, preservation, and interpretation of battlefield land and/or historic sites associated with battlefields. 

 

The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) promotes the preservation of significant historic battlefields associated with wars on American soil. The goals of the program are 1) to protect battlefields and sites associated with armed conflicts that influenced the course of our history, 2) to encourage and assist all Americans in planning for the preservation, management, and interpretation of these sites, and 3) to raise awareness of the importance of preserving battlefields and related sites for future generations. The ABPP focuses primarily on land use, cultural resource and site management planning, and public education.
