Land Management Plan Part 2 San Bernardino National Forest Strategy September 2005 There will be a focus on the development of low-elevation trails, interpretive opportunities, prescribed burning to improve bighorn sheep habitat, day-use recreation, and conservation with other agencies for management of coastal sage habitat. Monitoring bighorn sheep and sheep habitat response to the Grand Prix and Padua Fires of 2003 will be a priority, as well as building community relationships in the fire-affected communities. Law enforcement activities will be coordinated with other functional areas for the protection of national forest resources and the safety of national forest visitors and employees. Page 98
