4. Ideas to take home

Page 7: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

- The Master Plan for the Field Office or other management unit (NCA or Monument)

- Sets allocations for all resources including recreation

- Usually updated every 20 years

- Usually takes 3 or more years to complete

Page 8: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

- Smaller in scale than the Resource Management Plan

- Describes specific actions required to implement allocations from Resource Management Plan

- Usually covers one recreation management area

Page 9: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

- Plans a specific implementation action (building a trail, campground, boat launch, etc)

- Outlines a proposal to implement a fee program

Stay tuned for more details from Matt and Lesly on Thursday!

Direction and Guidance:

Instruction Memorandum 2007-043

* Commits BLM to implement a Unified Strategy that delivers a collaborative recreation and visitor services planning and management framework * Both resource management planning and activity planning should incorporate the concepts outlined in the Unified Strategy

Instruction Memorandum 2006-060

* BLM’s commitment to Benefits Based Management (BBM)* Required decisions found in Appendix C of the Land Use Planning Handbook (H-1601-1)

Page 12: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

1. Identified a distinctive shift from activity-based recreation management to managing for specific individual, social and economic benefits.

3. Created the Recreation and Visitor Advisory Team (RVSAT) - make recommendations for improving BLM’s recreation and visitor services program - develop a strategy for implementing goals and objective in Purple Book

2. Identified 7 Objectives as Priorities for BLM Recreation and Visitor Services Program

Page 13: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

Prioritized Objectives From the “Purple Book”

Affirmed BLM’s Commitment to Benefits

Based Management

What Bob and Brian were talking about yesterday!

Hierarchy of Seven Purple Book Objectives

Objective 1 Manage public lands and waters for enhanced recreation experiences and quality of life.

▼Objective 2

Encourage sustainable travel and tourism development with gateway communities and provide community-based conservation support for visitor services.

▼Objective 3

Provide fair value and return for recreation through fee collection and commercial services.

Objective 4 Establish a comprehensive

approach to travel planning and management.

Objective 5 Ensure public health and safety, and improve the condition and accessibility of recreation sites and

facilities.

▼Objective 6

Enhance and expand visitor services, including interpretation, information and education.

Appendix C Decisions

Page 20: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

SRMA or ERMA

Allocation Decisions:(Defining the Desired Future Condition)

ERMA = Extensive Recreation Management Area (Not managed for Beneficial Outcomes)

SRMA = Special Recreation Management Area (Managed for Beneficial Outcomes)

Page 21: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

“For each SRMA selected, determine whether that primary market-based strategy will be to manage for a destination recreation-tourism market, a community recreation-tourism market, or an undeveloped recreation-tourism market, and state that determination in the land use plan.” (Appendix C of the Land Use Planning Handbook)

Destination market strategy = manage for people who come from outside the local community

Community market strategy = manage for people who come from inside the local community

Undeveloped market strategy = manage for people who come from inside and outside the local community who are looking for “undeveloped” BLM lands (the frontier/unstructured opportunities)

(recreation will be the primary allocation for use) Special Recreation Management Area

Decision #1

Page 22: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

Destination strategy: - National visitors staying in local resort communities - regional visitors from north central Colorado

Page 23: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

“For each SRMA identified, delineate discrete recreation management zone (RMZ) boundaries. .” (Appendix C of the Land Use Planning Handbook)

Destination visitors: (trail riders from outside local community)

Are they all looking for the same opportunities?

RMZs delineate specific management for different segments within the larger SRMA market

Example:

Are they all there for the same reason?

Decision #2

Special Recreation Management Area (Cont.)

Page 24: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!
Page 25: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

2. Identify targeted activities for each RMZ

3. Identify the outcomes to be attained within each RMZ

Why are they engaged in recreation in the zone?

RMZ Decisions:

1. Identify the market segment of larger SRMA market

Who are they?

What are they doing?

Are they compatible?

Are the activities compatible?

BLM can not be everything to everyone, everywhere.(We must be selective!)

Special Recreation Management Area (Cont.)

What types of experiences will be managed for and what personal, social,economic, and environmental benefits will result from the experiences?

Page 26: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

4. Prescribe the recreation setting character required to achieve zone objectives

Special Recreation Management Area (Cont.)

Outcomes (experiences and benefits) are connected to setting character!

Changes in setting character can result in loss or change in outcomes!

Page 27: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

Page 28: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

5. Describe the framework necessary to implement zone objectives

(Cont.)

- other recreation service providers (USFS, CDOW, Counties/Cities, Chambers of Commerce,

commercial recreation service providers, etc.)

Cooperative agreements with partners

Additional planning needs (Implementation/Activity Plans)

- (trail plans, permit plans, interpretation plans, etc)

Formation of public groups necessary for implementation

- Friends groups, adopt-a-trail groups, other ongoing working groups

BLM is not a sole source provider!(Who do we need to partner with to be successful?)

ERMA (everything that is not in an SRMA)

ERMA Objectives will include:

* resource protection

* public health & safety

* recreation user conflicts

Recreation is not the primary management emphasis

Recreation activities can take place as long as they consistent with other resource allocations and decisions

Not managed to protect recreation settings and outcomes

Comprehensive Travel ManagementPlanning Guidance

Instruction Memorandum 2008-014-“A key aspect of this IM is to facilitate all resource programs to work in an interdisciplinary manner in planning, determination, and management of a transportation network …”

Comprehensive Travel Management!-“The process also requires recognition and designation of non-motorized trails or routes.”

Plan for all modes of travel, not just motorized!

Page 34: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

“Delineate travel management areas and designate off-highway vehicle management areas.” (Appendix C of the Land Use Planning Handbook)

Decision #1

Delineating Travel Areas:Comprehensive Travel Planning Should Include all Resource Uses:

-Consistency with other resource programs-Primary travelers-Objectives for allowing travel-Setting to be maintained

Factors to Consider:

Comprehensive Travel Management(Cont.)

Page 35: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

Comprehensive Travel Management(Cont.)

Designating Travel Areas:

All BLM Lands must be classified for motorized travel:

Open

Closed

LimitedConsider:All Modes of Travel (foot, equestrian, bicycle, motorized, etc.)Limited to Existing or Designated RoutesTime or Season of UseTypes of Motorized UseAdministrative Use (BLM, permittees, commercial activities, etc.)

Changing Area Designations requires an amendment to RMP!

Page 36: Please turn off or turn down cell phones. Thank You!

“Complete a defined travel management network (system of areas, roads and/or trails) during the development of the land use plan, to the extent practical” (Appendix C of the Land Use Planning Handbook)

Decision #2

Comprehensive Travel Management(Cont.)

Products Required:

1. A map showing all area and route decisions2. Definitions and additional limitations for specific routes3. Criteria to select or reject specific routes, add new routes, or to

specify limitations4. Guidelines for management and monitoring5. Indicators for future actions related to the travel network6. Needed easements and rights of ways to maintain system and

provide public access
