The Greater Santa Fe Recreation Partnership (GSFRP) began in 2018, stimulated by outdoor recreation visioning and subsequent sustainable recreation planning initially organized by the Santa Fe National Forest. The collaborative effort serves to catalyze a landscape scale “all hands, all lands” approach, defining a multi-stakeholder vision for recreation opportunities that serve current and future needs of outdoor recreationists in a safe and sustainable manner.
Structure
GSFRP is guided by a leadership council, supported by a coordinating team and made up of working groups focused on key aspects of recreation (see structure diagram below). Trails is the first working group to get started and is focused on collaboratively developing a cross-jurisdictional regional trails plan. For more information, click here.
