possession of marijuana on federal property

my wife and I were recently cited for possession of a controlled substance 2 oz of Marijuana in Shenendoah nat'l park. The ticket says offence 36 CFR 2.35 (b) 2 and comes with a $250 fine. How does this affect our 'record'? What options can a lawyer provide in contesting this?
