The Eastern Sierra Sustainable Recreation Partnership
The Eastern Sierra Sustainable Recreation Partnership is a unique large landscape partnership between local communities, county governments, and state and federal agencies from California’s rural Eastern Sierra region. Working together, the partnership aims to improve recreation opportunities and restore ecosystems to their natural resiliency and functions.
The partnership is developing and implementing strategies related to sustainable recreation and tourism, climate resiliency, and is supporting visitor services. Through collaboration and the leveraging of resources, the partnership is working to achieve their shared goals. The National Park Service - Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (NPS-RTCA) supports the partnership and coordinates with leaders from the six National Park Service units that are located within the Eastern Sierra landscape.
The region is largely dependent on natural resources, recreation and tourism to sustain the local economy. The Eastern Sierra Sustainable Recreation Partnership opens up channels for communication and action for recreational and economic opportunities throughout the region.
