Bandelier National Monument Superintendent Jason Lott’s presentation inspired at least two participants at the Manhattan Project Communities Conference, who singled it out as one of the most thought provoking.
“My area of expertise is not in Washington where these decisions are made, not in the regional office where a lot of this is planned out for follow through. My expertise is on the ground, as a superintendent of national parks,” Lott said, who then proceeded to lay out the groundwork for the project. “There’s going to be a big agreement signed with a lot of high ranking people, but when it comes to the ground it’s going to take us to make it happen.”
