Programmatic Actions
Action |
Lead |
Timeframe |
| Complete a fee analysis at each site to ensure the appropriate fees are bing charged and there is consistency in what we are charging for similar amenities across the Forest. | Forest Recreation Program Manager | 2006-2007 |
| Investigate opportunities for Trail Use fees | Forest Supervisor | 2007-2008 |
| Inventory and assess concentrated use areas across the Forest to determine which may be appropriate for "designated dispersed" opportunities. This would be one step in a dispersed recreation management/alignment plan. | Cindy Mackelprang | Summer 2006 |
| Pursue opportunities for communities to take over sites that are in close proximity and used by local rural communities. Refer to site listing under "G". | District Rangers | 2006 |
| Consider readjusting the % of the RHWR budget current (46%) going toward developed recreation. since the niche indicates an emphasis on trail-based dispersed recreation, the hope is to shift more dollars toward that program area. in addition, discuss opportunities to continue taking money off the top (recently for travel management) to address either the implementation of the travel plan or other dispersed recreation challenges and priorities. | Max Reid with FLT as part of the 2007 budget discussion. | Summer 2006 |
| Continue annual maintenance and updates of the infra data base. | Forest Infra Coordinator | Annually - post field season |
