Many of the FY19 tasks continue past efforts. Each table summarizes the current status and a synthesis of updates for each task. For some tasks requiring more description or discussion, an extended narrative follows the table for that task. Note that the FY19 Work Plan was still based on the 2013 Bay Restoration Plan (BRP) and not the October 2018 Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) Action Plan. The scope of this semi-annual report is broad and structured into three overarching Program Areas to match the structure of the FY19 Work Plan. The Program Area identified as Water Resources and Quality Improvement relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Water Quality; the Program Area identified as Natural Resource Protection and Habitat Restoration relates specifically to the BRP Priority Issue: Natural Resources. There has also been focus and efforts in FY19 on implementing programs that interconnect and integrate issues across traditional boundaries such as climate change and comprehensive monitoring. These interdisciplinary issues that cover a broad range of topics are categorized into the Work Plan Program Area: Multidisciplinary and Integrative Programs. The diagram below illustrates the connection between SMBNEP’s FY19 Work Plan and BRP 2013 Priority Issues.

    CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.

  • Backbone Trail Would Stretch from Will Rogers State Historic Park to Point Mugu, Anchored in the Middle by Malibu Creek State Park
    National Park Service Santa Monica Mountains U.S. Department of the Interior Santa Monica Mountains ridgeline trail has been a vision for more Santa Monica Mountains than 50 years. Originally, it was to run from Griffith Park to Point National Recreation Area Mugu, but that idea never went forward. In the 1970s, with the estab- A lishment of state parks in the mountains, the notion began to crystal- lize. The Backbone Trail would stretch from Will Rogers State Historic Park to Point Mugu, anchored in the middle by Malibu Creek State Park. Backbone Trail System During the 1980s, many who shared the vision started working on the project with California State Parks, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, and the National Park Service. By 1990, 43 miles of the trail had been com- pleted. It followed ridges, traversed chaparral-covered hillsides, entered oak woodlands, and crossed creeks and valleys. Like Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the Backbone Trail System has progressed little by little across a patchwork of public lands. It has been constructed by volunteers, the California Conservation Corps, and professional staff from various parkland agencies. Parts of the trail were old animal paths that became single-track trails; other stretches were converted from fire roads. Only the newer sections have been built to modern trail standards. Because the trail system has been pieced together, trail sections may have different names and not all sections are open to all users. For example, mountain bikes are limited to fire roads and are not allowed on single-track trails—unless the trail is posted for mountain bike usage.
