The management plan for Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai'pi was originally intended to cover 10 years. The term was extended until April 2014, based on an assessment of the 1997 Plan. The direction contained in the existing Management Plan will provide for adequate management until a new plan is in place.

Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai'pi Provincial Park is divided into three management zones.

• The Historical Protection Zone protects sensitive habitats and cultural features. 
• Recreation and facility development is permitted in the Facility Zone. 
• Low impact activities are permitted in the Natural Environment Zone.  Annual cattle grazing permits are used in this zone to help control invasive plant species.

Visitors throughout history have reacted to this spectacular landscape and its ancient past with wonder and awe. The goal of park management is to balance visitation with protection. Access to sensitive areas of the park is restricted. Key features are monitored for impact and disturbance.  Ongoing research helps identify ways to better protect the cultural heritage and maintain biological diversity.
