This grant opportunity aims to improve public safety, natural resources management, and visitor experience by creating a seamless vegetation dataset for Marin County. The funded project will quantify vegetation changes at Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area over the past 20 years, enabling better restoration prioritization, fire management, and baseline data for potential landscape-level events. In alignment with the Secretary’s priority to utilize science for park management, this collaboration will utilize the best available science to enhance the decision-making process for park managers and benefit public lands.

| Description: | Understanding vegetation cover is critical for a wide variety of needs including fire and fuels management, project planning, sensitive species management and much more. Having this data available and be part of a seamless dataset for Marin County, will improve public safety through enabling fire prevention planning. It will also improve natural resources management which will lead to improved habitat and visitor experience. Lastly, it will facilitate project planning and review which will expedite implementation of a wide variety of projects that directly benefit the public. In addition, staff funded through this program will be able to interact with and engage the public about the importance of biodiversity in national parks and related topics as they encounter the public while doing field work.
This project supports the Secretaryâ¿¿s priority to â¿¿utilize science to identify best practicesâ¿ (1.a.) for park management actions. This project would be a collaboration to quantify patterns of vegetation change at Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area over the past 20 year. This information will allow park managers to make better decisions about how to prioritize restoration actions, where to implement fire and fuels projects, and will provide baseline information in the case of a landscape level event such as a wildfire. This collaborative project will use the best available science to manage park lands. |
