Appendix B
Frequencies and Percents of
Management Problems Reported or Observed,
Management Strategies, and
Comments on Efficacy and Seasonality
Goals for Appendix B:
Provide information about the strategies in use on National Forests
in California for each of the management problems identified.
The Table of Contents of the report indicates where
you can locate the problem that is of interest to you. For example, if
Problem 12, OHVs going too fast, is the issue of concern to you,
then check the Table of Contents (under Appendix B) for Problem
12 and you’ll find the page number where you can find out how
many others have observed or received reports of OHVs going too
fast, what strategies they use to slow down OHV riders, the
strategies that are used most often, and what is perceived to be
most effective for Problem 12. You will also find information about
how problems and strategies to slow OHV riders differ by season.
Limitations:
This appendix provides information about what selected
managers in California are using and the strategies they perceive to
be the most effective. It does not necessarily suggest these are the only
strategies that could be used, nor does it necessarily identify the most
effective strategy for the particular problem. Also, note the very small
numbers of responses for many of the strategies. These small numbers
severely restrict the generalizability to others.
Note that 26 problems were asked of all respondents, but some
managers included additional problems. These were: multiple land
jurisdictions, non-manageable wilderness boundaries, dust near
developed campgrounds, noise and smoke, wilderness trespass,
conflicts with skiers/snowshoers, lack of consistent funding, and
conflicts with owners of private land. These small percentages
reflect the responses of only those respondents who added them to
the list. If they had been on the original list to all respondents then
the numbers might be different.
Strategies added by respondents, and therefore not available for selection
by all respondents, are marked with an asterisk [*].
