Approaches and Tools for Future-Ready Sustainable Recreation Management

As visitor use increases and public expectations change, we need to have the training and tools to provide high quality experiences while protecting natural and cultural resources.
The Training and Symposium will:

• Enhance foundational knowledge and skills of visitor use management and sustainable recreation planning.
• Understand and address the role of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion when planning for visitor use management.
• Understand Tribal Treaty Rights in the context of recreation planning and visitor use management.
• Understand limitations of the Visitor Use Management Framework including perspectives of Traditional/Indigenous knowledge systems.
• Identify ways to support each other to share and elevate visitor use management work across the U.S. and Canada.

We encourage any land managers to join us so we can diversify industry knowledge including tribal, state, local and federal land and water managers, researchers and professors, consultants. and others who participate in recreation planning and management.
