30 Reserves 101 (Give us all the same starting point)
31 OVERVIEW What are they? Where are they? Why do we have them? How were they created? How do people use them? What do they cost? How are they managed? What should happen in the future?
32 What are they? About 10 reserves Total 4,000 acres About 40 miles of trails Riparian areas, grasslands, alpine forest Raptors, deer, coyote, reptiles, small mammals Amenities including restrooms, dog waste stations, signage, garbage cans, horse ramp
33 What are they? Polecat Hillside to Hollow Camelsback/Hulls Gulch Oregon Trail Military Foothills East Castle Rock Mesa Stack Rock Noble Johnston parcel
34 Where are they? Most (but not all) within the Foothills Management Area Mix of elevations (some low, some high) Mix of proximity (some easily accessible, some less visited)
35 Where are they? See map handout
36 Why do we have them? Wellness and recreation Economic vibrancy Ecosystem health Culture, history and learning Sense of place Social connectedness
37 How were they created? Mix of public money and private donations Foothills levy in 2001 allowed us to acquire most of the acreage we have today Foothills Advisory Board was citizen-based group that advised on levy priorities (sunset in 2012) $1.75 million remaining of levy funds
38 How do people use them? Information comes from Parks and Rec survey (2011) Annual trail user survey (yearly) Open Space Matters survey (currently open at
39 How do people use them? Parks and Rec City-wide Survey 64% said they don t visit the Foothills Of those that do use the Foothills 70% for hiking, 40% for viewing wildlife and scenery 31% biking and walking dogs on-leash 26% for both running and walking dogs off-leash 4% horseback riding
40 How do people use them? Annual trail use survey (2014) 1,680 users surveyed at 13 trailheads About 30% are dog owners At least half are hikers/walkers About 20% are runners About a third are bikers Almost 5% horseback riders Total trail use up, overall
41 How do people use them? Use overall is up (Boise population has been increasing by about 2% per year for last decade) More pressure on parking areas In general, use trends are relatively steady There is differentiation of use by reserve (Hulls Gultch, Military most used)
42 Many other uses Wildlife viewing and bird watching Enjoying vistas and views Family outings Outdoor education Other conservation values and ecosystem benefits are provided by the reserves
43 How do people use them? Trail designations (pedestrians only, mountain bikers only) increased to now 77% from 26% in 2009 Support for more dog on-leash trails went up slightly to 53% in 2014 from 48% prior year 74% of people indicated they would be willing to pay a trail user fee The number of visitors who come by car increased from 42% in 2009 to now 63%
44 How do people use them? Open Space Matters Survey Response 600 results from trailhead survey 112 results from postcard survey Postcard invitation sent to randomized Boise addresses with private survey url to filter responses Nearly 1,200 results from the open online survey
45 What do they cost? Budget is about $130k/year for Foothills Open Space Conservation (planning and administration, most of which is staff costs). Ridge to Rivers budget is mostly funded (75%) by City: $230,832 in volunteer hours in 2013.
46 What do they cost? Location Acres Staff Boise 4,000 1* (5.5 including R2R) Missoula, Montana 3, Albuquerque, New Mexico 28, Fort Collins, Colorado 11, *Indicates the Foothills Open Space Manager. Most management personnel is trail related and comes from Ridge to Rivers, which has three permanent full-time staff, two seasonal employees and 1 part-time ranger.
47 What do they cost? Location Acres Operating Budget $ s Per Acres Boise* 4,000 $135,000 $30 Albuquerque** 28,231 $2,700,000 $93 Broomfield** 5,190 $593,764 $114 Santa Fe** 6,609 $584,510 $88 East Bay, CA** 112,000 $188,100,000 $1,679 *Operating revenue from property taxes only **Operating revenue from a mix of financing mechanisms.
48 How are they managed? City owns and manages the land City works with private owners, interagency partners (BLM, USFS, Ada County, Boise County, IDFG) and NGOs (LTTV) Volunteer coordination helps accomplish a lot, and we hope to increase this No comprehensive management plan in place, currently (our job!)
49 How are they managed? The focus of this effort is on the City-owned reserve properties and how they should be managed, overall. Management goals can include anything from education to conservation to recreation. In 2015, Ridge to Rivers intends to embark on a Trails Management Plan that will focus on trails (which are cross-jurisdictional).
50 Example from Missoula Mgmt Plan Goal Manage conservation lands that adjoin other properties in cooperation with those landowners Provide a diverse and appropriate range of recreational and educational activities on MCL while limiting impacts by users to the ecological and cultural resource. Policies Maintain, enhance, and encourage landscape connectivity between Conservation Lands, other parklands, federal, state, and private properties. Develop appropriate management plans (fire, wildlife, weeds, recreation etc.) with adjacent landowners. Inventory individual Conservation Lands for their current and potential recreation uses, current and predicted usage levels, and impacts on ecological and cultural resources. Develop and implement general and, where appropriate, parcel-specific management strategies and regulations to address uses including, but not limited to, dog walking, bike use, paragliders, hang-gliders, horseback riding, organized recreational events, hunting, research, formal education activities. Maintain open communications and conduct public information and education campaigns concerning the general and specific regulations, including the reasons for the regulations.
