part of the site of the battle is now manassas national battlefield park. located north of manassas, in prince william county, virginia, it preserves the site of two major american civil war battles: the first battle of bull run on july 21, 1861, and the second battle of bull run which was fought between august 28 and august 30, 1862 (also known as the first battle of manassas and the second battle of manassas, respectively). the peaceful virginia countryside bore witness to clashes between the armies of the north (union) and the south (confederacy), and it was there that confederate general thomas j. jackson acquired his nickname "stonewall." the civil war trust (a division of the american battlefield trust) and its partners have acquired and preserved of the second battle of bull run battlefield in more than 10 transactions since 2000.

in 1973, joseph miller, jr., a retired portland physician, sued the forest service, claiming that its logging violated the bull run trespass act. in 1976, u.s. district judge james m. burns agreed, and logging was halted. shortly thereafter, congress rescinded the bull run trespass act and replaced it with the bull run watershed management act of 1977, which created the bull run watershed management unit (brwmu) (replacing the bull run reserve) and legalized further bull run logging unless it could be shown to reduce water quality. logging and the debate about logging continued. in 1994 about 75 percent of the brwmu was made into a reserve for protecting the northern spotted owl and other species dependent on old-growth forests. in february 1996, runoff from unusually heavy rains in the watershed washed so much eroded soil into the bull run storage reservoirs that the city had to shut down the bull run supply and switch during the crisis to its emergency supply from a well field along the columbia river. later in 1996, congress passed the oregon resources conservation act, which prohibited logging on all forest service lands within the bull run water supply drainage and another of land that drained to the lower bull run river. in 2001, the little sandy act extended the prohibitions to the entire brwmu and public lands along the little sandy river.
