A National Heritage Site in the United States is a location important to the
cultural heritage of a particular state that has been promoted to national status, as well as sites that have been deemed nationally important by central heritage agencies.
The
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is a federal government agency within the United States Department of the Interior dedicated to the management of fish, wildlife, and habitats.
The
United States Forest Service (USFS) oversees "forest reserves" and protects them from fire and other dangers from multi-use of trails. Though much of their administrative duties overlap with the NPS, the USFS reports to the
United States Department of Agriculture, and not of the Interior.
National Heritage Areas are created by Congress. They are usually administered by State-owned parks services, where the NPS has an advisory role.
