Summary
The Greater Sedona Recreation Collaborative and U.S. Forest Service staff briefed the Sedona City Council July 14 on a multiyear strategy to manage off‑highway vehicle impacts, asking roughly $1.6 million to fund prioritized redesigns, rapid‑response capacity and monitoring.
Members of the Greater Sedona Recreation Collaborative (GSRC), together with U.S. Forest Service staff, presented an update July 14 on efforts to manage and mitigate the impacts of motorized recreation in and around Sedona.
GSRC conveners Nina Barlow (Barlow Adventures) and Melissa Ponticus (Friends of the Forest Sedona) outlined priorities: continuation of rental‑user education and restoration work, a vehicle monitoring program, development of visitor capacity worksheets and a project management plan (PMP) prepared with the Forest Service enterprise team. The PMP and associated visitor capacity worksheets aim to create a common, defensible framework to evaluate routes and prioritize restoration, reroutes and infrastructure work.
