Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals
Designing Recreation and Trails to Support Climate Resilience
Virtual Training
From warmer and wetter winters in the South and Midwest to more intense droughts in the Southwest, the effects of climate change are a daily reality for outdoor recreation managers. This 4-part series explores how land managers, communities, nonprofits, and policy makers are proactively designing and communicating in anticipation of more severe weather and responding to events such as wildfires and floods in a collaborative way.
Recent enhancements to the Prison Hill Recreation Area in Carson City, NV, included many features designed to increase recreation value and resource sustainability. The Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department worked with community members and partners to design and implement projects to increase accessibility, and develop both a non-motorized trail system and an OHV riding area that is resilient to weather events and reduces wildfire risks. This session will highlight the results of turning an unsustainable resource into one that provides benefits to both people and the land.
