The objective is to conserve and restore biodiversity of the Uruguay River Forest by generating and socializing knowledge and experience. Land ownership has been fully regularized. The park has received various prizes for its environmental management work. The ecological station management plan was revised and adapted in 2003 to 2004 to fit the state park category. The management plan was approved by FATMA ordinance 082/05 of 13 October 2005. The park was opened to the public in November 2007. A revised management plan was approved in November 2014. The park is managed by the Fritz Plaumann State Park Co-Management Team (ECOPEF), a civil society organization created in 2007, in cooperation with FATMA, the Santa Catarina environmental agency. The park fully protects a remnant of Uruguay River Forest, a seasonal deciduous forest. The forest has typical plant species such as "canafístula" ("Pelthoporum dubium"), "grápia" ("Apuleia leocarpa"), cedar ("Cedrela fissilis") and "angico-vermelho" ("Parapiptadenia rigida"). Many of the species of fauna in the park are threatened by hunting and deforestation. They include the tufted capuchin ("Sapajus apella"), lowland paca ("Cuniculus paca"), southern tamandua ("Tamandua tetradactyla"), red brocket ("Mazama americana"), Azara's agouti ("Dasyprocta azarae"), dusky-legged guan ("Penelope obscura"), the frog "Vitreorana uranoscopa" and snakes such as "Bothrops neuwiedi" and "Spilotes pullatus". The main threats to the environment of the park are invasive forest species such as "Hovenia dulcis" and "Hedychium coronarium", pollution from waste dumped into the Queimados River, and predatory hunting and fishing in and around the park. As of 2016 the park was open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 14:00 to 17:00, on Saturday from 9:00 to 17:00 and on Sunday from 13:00 to 18:00. The visitor center has an exhibition room with a model and multi-themed panels on the nature and biodiversity of the area. It also contains a study hall, auditorium and housing for researchers. Several trails start from the visitor center.
