CURRENT SREMP PROJECTS
EASTERN SIERRA
PACE AND SCALE ACCELERATOR
The Eastern Sierra Pace and Scale Accelerator Program aims to increase local capacity for environmental planning in the Eastern Sierra by investing in dedicated professionals to build a locally based workforce in the area of environmental planning.
TOWN-TO-TRAILS PLAN
The Trails Plan will identify existing trails and other soft surface infrastructure networks for the development of a trail network paralleling the Pacific Crest Trail from Lone Pine to Markleeville and beyond. The Trails Plan will also identify environmental planning needs and opportunities for on-the-ground implementation projects.
BUTTERMILK INFRASTRUCTURE AND RECREATION INITIATIVE
The Buttermilk Project Area has emerged as an iconic destination in the Eastern Sierra Region and has seen increasing numbers of visitors in recent years, straining existing recreation infrastructure while presenting opportunities to improve the visitor experience and conserve natural resource assets through engaged recreation management. The Buttermilk Infrastructure and Recreation Planning Initiative (BIRPI) is a two-phase Project to address current resource impacts and plan for sustainable recreation in the Buttermilk area.
