Briones Pilot Project Update
A Balanced Approach to Trail Management
If you are a regular park visitor, you may have noticed that more people are visiting our parks, including mountain bikers. Overall, this is a good thing as more people are connecting with nature and building a deeper appreciation for parks and the natural environment. However, with more visitors comes potential conflicts and damage to parks.
The Briones Pilot Project, at Briones Regional Park, is testing a variety of trail management strategies to safely share existing trails and protect park habitat, wildlife, and watersheds.
The Pilot Project takes a balanced approach by dedicating four trail segments for bike-only, downhill-only use and restoring illegal bootleg trails back to nature. Trail restoration Dig Days are scheduled regularly. For more information, visit www.ebparks.org/BPP.
