When most people in this region think outdoor recreation, they instinctively think of the Sierra or the coast. This will give them a wonderful alternative. We'd like to see a network of trails and primitive campsites for the entire area that can be used by hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.

The other two are protection of biodiversity and preservation of the local ranching economy. We have a guiding framework that's helping managers plan for their individual parcels with all those goals in mind.

Of course, there's still a lot to do.
