Title: INTEGRATING COMPATIBLE PUBLIC RECREATION WITH ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION |
Abstract/Description: Ecosystem restoration of riparian systems requires continued public support in the face of increased competition for land, water and funding. In addition to the values of biodiversity and healthy natural systems, large segments of the public look for specific benefits that affect their everyday lifestyle. They wish to see a tangible return on an investment of public funds. Compatible public recreation opportunities can meet this need and help to sustain a public constituency for ecosystem restoration. Public and private habitat managers along the Sacramento River have accordingly focused on planning for compatible recreation over the past several years. In 2006, The Nature Conservancy partnered with EDAW Inc. to develop two public recreation plans that were tied to the conservation of riparian habitat in Colusa County. These plans were developed through an intensive public engagement process, which resulted in a local consensus on these plans. This expression of local agreement was a first in an area that has not been supportive of ecosystem restoration efforts in the past.
