To accomplish this, the Forest Plan: SPECIFIES THE STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES AND THE APPROXIMATE TIMING AND VICINITY OF THE PRACTICES NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THAT DIRECTION; AND ESTABLISHES THE MONITORING AND EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT THE DIRECTION IS CARRIED OUT AND TO DETERMINE HOW WELL OUTPUTS AND EFFECTS WERE PREDICTED. The Forest Plan will be reviewed (and updated if necessary) at least every five years. It will be revised on a IO- to 15-year cycle. Preparation of the Forest Plan is required by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) as amended by the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). Assessment of its environmental impacts is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the implementing regulations of NFMA (36 WR 219). The Forest Plan replaces all previous resource management plans prepared for the Toiyabe National Forest. Upon approval of the Forest Plan, all subsequent activities affecting the Forest must be in compliance with the Forest Plan. In addition, all permits, contracts and other instruments for the use and 0 occupancy of National Forest System lands mst be in conformance with the Forest Plan.

  • From Great Hikes and Movie Locations to Epic Views, Explore the Range of Recreation Options in the Santa Monica Mountains by Matt Jaffe
    into our Wild From great hikes and movie locations to epic views, explore the range of recreation options in the Santa Monica Mountains By Matt Jaffe ate one afternoon many years ago, I headed out for a hike in Franklin Canyon above Beverly Hills. As I climbed the chaparral-covered slopes, a red-tailed hawk wheeled overhead and a coyote yipped in the hills. I had to re- mind myself that this wild landscape lies just a few miles from Rodeo Drive. I first learned this place was part of something bigger after seeing Lsigns bearing the National Park Service’s familiar arrowhead-shaped emblem. Franklin Canyon belongs to the Santa Monica Mountains OXNARD THOUSAND National Recreation Area (SMMNRA), the world’s largest urban national OAKS park. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the park rambles from BURBANK the Hollywood Hills to the Oxnard Plain and protects 150,000 acres. But unlike traditional national parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone, MALIBU LOS ANGELES SMMNRA’s land is not contiguous; it is an amalgam of federal, state, and SANTA MONICA local parklands stitched together after a decades-long grassroots effort. I’ve been hiking the Santa Monica Mountains for about 30 years now, and in that time I’ve experienced the range’s many moods: meadows For a detailed map of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and brightened with California poppies and lupines, high peaks veiled in information on sites mentioned in this story, go fog, and even a fast-moving wildfire raging at the end of my street.

  • 23, 2016 Backbone Trail Cowgirls When I Thought About Doing This
    BACKBONE CHALLENGE RIDE JULY 18 - 23, 2016 Backbone Trail Cowgirls When I thought about doing this ride, I decided to invite only friends who met 2 criteria – they had to have a sense of humor and their horses had to be trail savvy. I invited 4 women ranging in age from 45 to 74 yrs. Tracey Potter, Jeanne Wallace, Kimberly Gustafson, and Janet Peterson. On a general basis, we really enjoyed several special things -- the trails & trail treads were in great condition - the rock formations of Old Boney seen from Blue Canyon Tr and Chamberlain Tr in Pt Mugu - the views seen at the same time of the ocean and the valley from the top of Corral Cyn - riding up through the rocks and massive boulders of Saddle Peak Trail in Malibu Creek State Park - the wonderful friends who previewed the trails for downed trees and removed them - the friends who drove the trailers from campsite to campsite every day - the friends who brought our horses & us water – the friends who let us camp at their ranches - Calamigos Ranch for an amazing stay with our horses high lined, cocktails, fabulous buffet, cabin with shower & beds - and all the other friends who helped in myriad ways. It was wonderful to have the support of National Park Service, California State parks, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy for this historic ride to publicize the Backbone Trail as a National Recreation Trail. We greatly appreciated the many small and big things that State Parks and NPS did for us – especially SP putting up corrals at Trippet Ranch in Topanga State Park and NPS doing all the media and press.

  • Friday, April 3, 2009
    Welcome to the 28th Annual Wildflower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit nursery, seed source, bookstore, and education center dedicated to the preservation of wildflowers and California native plants. As May draws to a close, many of our lower elevation flowers bid adieu, but June and July can still offer great swaths of color as the mountain tops warm to reveal their wildflower beauty. So don’t despair, even though this is the last report of the season spring is still with us, and if you’re willing to look for them – wildflowers can still be found! We begin along the Coast of San Diego County, where the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve has a number of gems throughout the park including California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), deerweed (Lotus scoparius), Nuttall’s snapdragon (Antirrhinum nuttallianum), California everlasting (Gnaphalium californicum), beautiful centaury (Centaurium venustum), morning glory (Calystegia macrostegia), wide throated yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus brevipes), fingertips (Dudleya edulis), Indian pink (Silene laciniata ssp. major), lanceleaf liveforever (Dudleya lanceolata), yellow pincushion (Chaenactis glabriuscula), three spot (Osmadenia tenella), and Indian paintbrush (Castilleja affinis). Off HWY 79, the meadows at the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park continue to show amazing beauty with blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), wild onion (Allium sp.), caraway leaved gilia (Gilia (Saltugilia) caruifolia), blue flax (Linum lewisii), and winecup clarkia (Clarkia purpurea).
