The National Park Service (NPS) will be holding two meetings in Southern California to get public input into the future of the former World War II Tule Lake camp site.

The schedule is as follows:

Thursday, Dec. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center, 244 S. San Pedro St. in Little Tokyo

Friday, Dec. 2, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at CSU Dominguez Hills University Library, 1000 E. Victoria St., Carson

The NPS is interested in comments from the public related to the General Management Plan (GMP) for Tule Lake. As the GMP will act as a road map for the site for the next 10 to 20 years, feedback is sought regarding what the community would like to see at the site for future generations. The evolution of the Manzanar National Historic Site is evidence of the importance of a GMP.
