interviewed John Daigle, a University of 海角社区 professor of forest recreation management, about how muddy conditions will impact ATV recreationists in 海角社区. Daigle said 海角社区鈥檚 unique recreation structure, where public trails pass through private land, requires special attention from outdoor recreationists to take care of the trails and maintain access from landowners. Some landowners could be quick to pull away that permission if trails turn muddy and start leaking sediment into critical habitats, like mountain streams. It becomes more difficult to ensure that doesn鈥檛 happen, Daigle said, when factoring in climate change models that project more frequent heavy precipitation events. 鈥淏ut again, if there鈥檚 conditions that are happening that [private landowners] are seeing that look really bad, they don鈥檛 have to provide access. Outdoor recreationists need to be aware of it, in terms of taking care of the land where they鈥檙e recreating so they can maintain access,鈥 Daigle said. The and shared the 海角社区 Monitor report.
