Land Management Plan Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy REC 1 - Recreation Opportunity Manage national forest land to achieve recreation opportunity spectrum (ROS) classes. REC 2 - Sustainable Use and Environmental Design September 2005 Analyze, stabilize and restore areas where visitor use is negatively affecting recreation opportunities, public safety and environmental resources. Manage visitor use within the limits of identified capacities: • Implement recreation capacity control measures in specific high-use areas as resource impacts become a concern. • Conduct threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species occupancy surveys within potential threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species recreation conflict areas. • Implement Adaptive Mitigation for Recreation Uses (Appendix D) in existing and new recreation sites and uses whenever a conflict between uses or sensitive resources is detected. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 1. Page 128
September 2005 Land Management Plan Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy REC 3 - Recreation Participation Offer a wide range of high quality, environmentally sustainable developed and dispersed recreation opportunities to a rapidly growing and culturally diverse visitor population, with minimal visitor conflicts and effects to other resources: • Develop new, environmentally sustainable recreation opportunities, areas, and infrastructure to relieve concentrated demand within existing high-use areas and to accommodate future growth and new uses elsewhere. • Improve, remove or replace aging developed recreation infrastructure to better meet current needs and future demand. As a priority, compensate for opportunities lost due to closures. • Evaluate existing and potential dispersed use, including recreational target shooting, waterplay, snowplay and camping opportunities. Identify areas where that use is inconsistent with resource protection and public safety, and mitigate or eliminate problems over time. • Implement adaptive management processes at recreation facilities to proactively respond to persons with disabilities, contemporary urban visitors, aging populations, diverse ethnic groups, and day-use emphasis (see Appendix C, Monitoring Requirements). • Maintain partnerships with businesses who operate and maintain existing recreation facilities under the concession program to meet the needs of visitor demands. • In designated areas where target shooting is allowed, emphasize management of target shooting activity through development of appropriate range facilities and on-site management presence, using special-use authorizations or other partnership opportunities. Linked to National Strategic Plan Goal 3 - Provide outdoor recreation opportunities, objective 1. REC 4 - Conservation Education Develop interpretive materials so that visitors have a greater understanding about the significance and importance of forest ecosystems, heritage resources, and the interrelationship between people and the natural environment: • The Forest Service plays a leadership role in developing strong, well-supported conservation education partnerships with non-profit organizations, volunteer groups, communities, governments, organization camps and private entities, while emphasizing and enhancing the capability of field program and project delivery, especially to underserved populations. Coordination between national forests is promoted for maximum results and cost efficiencies of programs, projects and visitor centers.
