Legacy Roads and Trails
What we do
The Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation Program supports our mission by restoring, protecting, and maintaining crucial watersheds on our national forests and grasslands. This is accomplished by restoring fish and aquatic organism passage, improving road and trail resiliency, preserving access, and decommissioning unneeded roads as determined by transportation planning. Protecting threatened, endangered, and sensitive species, and community water sources are among the top priorities for projects that improve and maintain access. Emergency operations that rely upon evacuation routes during wildfires, floods or other natural disasters also benefit from this program.
Why we do it
The Forest Service is directly responsible for more than 160,000 miles of trails, 6,700 road and 7,200 trail bridges, and 370,000 miles of roads in a variety of ecological settings in landscapes ranging from alpine highlands to tropical rain forests. Roads and trails in need of repair deteriorate and discharge sediment into streams that could contaminate water, block stream flow and cause irreparable harm to aquatic fish species. Road and trail Improvements increase ecological and resources connectivity and improves overall watershed condition while protecting infrastructure to better withstand flooding and other natural disasters. Projects will focus on the following goals:
- Increase work on roads and trails that improve water quality, restore aquatic organism passages, and maintain forest access;
- Address climate change adaptation by improving road crossings and drainage infrastructure and trail design to withstand new weather patterns;
- Improve resiliency by relocating roads and trails out of areas prone to flooding considering new foreseeable weather patterns;
- Partner with public and private sector entities, and work across boundaries with States, Tribes, local communities, private landowners, and other federal agencies to leverage diverse capacities and build broad public and community support for the work at the scale necessary to make a difference;
- Work with partners to identify risks to critical infrastructure, social, cultural, and economic values, and incorporate indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge to inform shared priorities and project design.
How we do it
Legacy Road and Trails funding is for work on national forests and grasslands managed by the Forest Service. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided the funding for the 2022 fiscal year selected projects. Some projects are accomplished through the work of our employees while many more projects are made possible with partners or contracts.
While the current Legacy Road and Trail Remediation Program seems new to some, the Forest Service has been providing stewardship and oversight of these program priorities through prior year Legacy Road and Trail Programs, expansive partnerships, regular annual appropriations, highway bill funding, and other legislation such as the Great American Outdoors Act. The current Legacy Road and Trails Remediation program amplifies the agency’s ability to address high priority needs to protect our crucial water resources and environment.
