Approach
Maintain safe access at the beginning and end of the summer recreation season.
Tactics
- Educate the public about risks associated with early- and late- season access.
- Open trails, campgrounds, and facilities earlier in the season.
- Limit access when public safety is a concern.
- Implement adaptive management—alter management as the length of the recreation season changes.
