2. Sustainable Recreation Initiated by U.S. Forest Service Landscape-level collaborative approach to improve and increase recreational opportunities. Work across jurisdictional boundaries toward common vision and implementation of shared priorities Focus on partnering -- “all hands, all lands” Incorporates all pillars of sustainability

3. Southeast AZ Sustainable Recreation Convened by Coronado National Forest in October 2014 Two public workshops in Tucson and Benson to identify common vision, challenges and priorities

4. Common Priorities Youth engagement Volunteerism Communication, marketing and outreach Mapping and data inventory

5. Mapping Team Mission: Provide a single access point to relevant recreation-related spatial data across the region. A resource for organizations, agencies, community groups, clubs and individuals across the region. Multiple partners will be able to gather, share, edit, view and analyze data to support long-term planning and the identification of recreation-related issues, priorities and opportunities.

6. Mapping team participants Coronado National Forest City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation University of Arizona, MS-GIST program Arizona Game and Fish Saguaro National Park Southern Arizona Hiking Club Arizona Trail Association

7. User groups Core team of data managers: Small group of representatives from the core agencies and organizations - maximum access to manage/maintain/host data and web-tools. Key partners: Larger group of partners from agencies and organizations that will need to share and access data - require more advanced spatial data analysis capabilities General users Core team of data managers Key partners General users: Much larger group includes recreational user-groups and clubs, and the general public. These users will require a simple user-friendly interface where they can explore data, and perform basic searches.

8. Approach Identify appropriate tools to support data management, gathering, sharing, editing, etc.

9. Approach Pilot the process with trails data in Pima County, and southeastern Arizona. No “hard” boundaries Next steps: Develop principles and protocols for data sharing Work on ways to integrate user-generated data (e.g. gaps in trails network)

10. Regional approach Other forests in Arizona are at various stages of their sustainable recreation processes Southeast AZ group is a pilot for how to address this spatial data need across Arizona and, more widely, Region 3 of Forest Service
