Superintendent Craig Kenkel will step down next month after leading the Point Reyes National Seashore during a three-year tenure marked by intense debate and litigation over the future of ranching and dairying in the park.
Mr. Kenkel, who is 64, will leave the job on June 1, closing a 41-year career with the National Park Service. Deputy Superintendent Anne Altman will serve as acting superintendent while the National Park Service recruits a permanent replacement.
