CREATIVE FUNDING
Now here's an idea...
|
|
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation continues the "support trails sticker" program for a second year. Proceeds from the $10 sticker reached over $18,000 in 2020. The money raised through this program funds trail maintenance, new signage and trail days events. Plus, this year there are hopes to build a first of its kind adaptive mountain bike trail accessible to all.
|
|
|
Several new (and seasoned) apps help professionals, volunteers and citizen scientists collect data to share with municipalities and land managers. Certain data is collected, analyzed and presented to support trail maintenance, social needs and infrastructure efforts. So, what apps are out there and which one(s) will work best for your needs? Read about a few of the available apps and how they are being put into practice.

(UN)RESPONSIBLE RECREATION
|
Recreation Access Closed
|
|
|
|
Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) private forest lands are generally open to individual members of the public for responsible recreational use such as hiking, bicycling, fishing, hunting, or cross-country skiing. Part of "responsible use" means adhering to guidelines and restrictions - especially fire restrictions. It is unfortunate that so many have ignored the restrictions put in place to protect us all. Already, numerous illegal camp fires have been found and extinguished this season in the Eastern Sierra. This closure may serve as a reminder for how quickly a treasured benefit can be taken away. Please #RecreateResponsibly.

In an effort to avoid consequences related to extreme drought and wildfire danger, SPI California Forestlands will close to public access on Monday, June 21, 2021."Due to extreme drought and wildfire conditions, Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) has closed its California forestlands to public access, effective Mon, June 21. This closure will remain in effect until further notice. Public roads that are on SPI forestlands will remain open, but no walk-in access will be allowed. For those looking for maps of SPI property lines, there are several third-party applications available for purchase."
