Plan to account for changes in recreation demand

Approach

Tactics

Identify places that are likely to be affected by climate change (e.g. where there may be a loss of water-based recreation, or where more recreation will be concentrated).
Reconsider campground locations to optimize comfort during hot climates (e.g. spots in the shade) and near existing water resources; intentionally locate sites to minimize impacts of dispersed camping.

Sensitivity

• Change in timing of water availability and absolute amount of water available will affect water-based recreation. High temperatures may drive up demand for water recreation.

Strategy

Increase management flexibility and adapt strategies to new conditions
