Why are land management agencies around the country now embarking on winter travel management planning processes? What approaches bring about successful outcomes in communities? Tonight’s session of the winter recreation series invites Hilary Eisen, of Winter Wildlands Alliance, and Gunnison County Commissioner Phil Chamberland to discuss why travel management is necessary, and how travel management planning can successfully engage communities, stakeholder groups, and local and national audiences in collaborative decision-making. In an era when social media shapes our communications, lawsuits play a dominant role in policymaking, and the numbers and types of public land users seem to be ever increasing, conversations about public land use are often heated. Can winter travel planning ever be as calm and cool as a winter morning in the Rockies?
