Visitor Use Impact on Siskiyou County Recreation Areas

We have been receiving feedback from Siskiyou County residents concerned about the impact of visitor use on our local recreation areas. This trend motivated us to distribute a survey that will capture feedback and ideas to help our communities troubleshoot this issue.

We are also considering the idea of developing a local stewardship corps program, and this information will help guide the research and implementation process should we decide that it is a viable project.

We want to hear from you!
