ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) — A soundscape management plan designed to protect the natural sounds of Zion National Park is being made available to the public for review.

The plan is meant to define the park's existing ambient soundscape and provide a roadmap for the management of the park's sound environment in the future.

The public can provide comments on the proposed plan and an environmental assessment until Sept. 3. Comments can be submitted online or mailed to Zion National Park.

Open house sessions also are planned on Aug. 19 in Springdale and Aug. 20 in Kanab.
