Recreation

Over the past decade, public recreation on rangelands has increased dramatically. In turn, the impacts of recreation and conflicts between recreators and other rangeland users have also grown to the point that recreation must be considered as its own land use and managed accordingly. Stakeholders across Idaho raised concerns over how to manage recreation to provide access while limiting conflicts and negative impacts. Stakeholders identified needs for coordination of additional research, continued work on communication via education and outreach, and improved collaboration related to rangeland recreation.
