2. NATIONAL STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORT:
REIMAGINE RECREATION
USDA Forest Service Recreation, Heritage, and Volunteer Resources program representatives will share information and be available to discuss this strategic planning effort about recreation across all national forest system lands.
The Reimagine Recreation effort will update the Framework for Sustainable Recreation (the agency’s national recreation strategy) and develop a National Recreation Action Plan for how to achieve the vision and goals of the updated strategy. The Agency seeks input to inform both the updated recreation strategy and new recreation action plan.
This tribal forum will include topic-based conversations such as:
• Recreation at/around sacred sites, including ski areas
• Forest product collection & law enforcement interactions
• Hunting and fishing (subsistence and recreational)
• Fee waiver for eligible Tribal users of recreation sites (day use or overnight camping, etc.)
• Other recreation related topics
