On Monday August 15, 2022, the Sustainable Recreation / CALREC Vision Key Working Group posted to this web page the Working Draft of their “Joint Strategy for Sustainable Recreation in California.” Once finalized by the Key Working Group (after review and input from tribal representatives and the general public was integrated), the Joint Strategy was presented to California’s Wildfire & Forest Resilience Task Force at their meeting on September 27th.
 
The purpose of this Joint Strategy is to increase access to sustainable outdoor recreation in California by focusing on actions that support outdoor recreation as people and communities find themselves increasingly vulnerable to the destructive impacts of smoke and wildfire. The Final Draft of this Joint Strategy will satisfy Key Action 3.14 of the California Wildfire & Forest Resilience Action Plan to “Develop [a] Joint Strategy to Improve Access to Sustainable Recreation.”


Four identically structured 90-minute virtual meeting sessions were held in August as opportunities for interested parties to provide feedback and input on the Working Draft. There was also an opportunity to provide more detailed comment through an online survey which was open until August 28.
