Background Information
In the last thirty or so years, public visitation at Grand Island has increased from 2,000 people per year to around 20,000 people per year. This uptick in public visitation has highlighted the complexity of management considerations on the island. In response to increased visitation, the Forest is using the Interagency Visitor Use Management (IVUMC) Framework to outline strategies and actions to better manage recreation and the surrounding environment.
