 |
|
The US Forest Service has released its new Framework for Sustainable Recreation. As captured in the slogan “Renewing Body and Spirit, Inspiring Passion for the Land”, the Framework recognizes that many people relate to national forests and grasslands based on their recreation experiences. It focuses on using recreation to help provide critical benefits for communities, such as healthy lifestyle and employment opportunities, while conserving the landscape for the future. Further, the connection with nature many feel from their recreation experiences can be cultivated into citizen stewardship across the entirety of national forest lands.
The Framework has six guiding principles and ten focus areas for improving the effectiveness and integration of the recreation program, and enhancing relationships with communities. Utilizing community engagement and sustainable recreation is the Forest Service’s effort to work in a more collaborative way.
Additionally, the Framework provides a foundation for the integration of recreation and heritage programs with the coming proposed Planning Rule as well as the America's Great Outdoors initiative. The Framework can be accessed on the Forest Service website.
