Recreation Facility Strategy
The purpose of the Recreation Facility Strategy project is to create a sustainable recreation program on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest by changing the maintenance of developed recreation sites and facilities. The Forest developed a 5-year Recreation Facility Strategy through the Recreation Site Analysis process. The Recreation Facility Strategy prioritized developed recreation site investments. About 200 sites are included in the Recreation Facility Strategy and 93 of them are covered in this project. This project is to modify the current program with changes to the operations and maintenance of recreation sites across the forest. The proposal has varying actions at 72 sites (from increased amenities to decreased maintenance) and removal of amenities at 22 sites to convert them to general forest. The 2019 Recreation Facility Strategy, Comments, and Frequently Asked Questions and Answers can found under the Supporting Documents tab below.
