Approach

Improve habitat resilience to human pressure.

Tactics

  • Address high-elevation snow sports and recreation with travel management, seasonal restrictions, and area designations.
  • Address increased recreation use within riparian areas, such as dispersed camping and concentrated day use, with strategic, long term recreation planning.
  • Address disturbance from extended human use in lower and mid-level elevation habitats with travel management, strategic recreation planning, and improving effectiveness of physical barriers closing roads and trails.
