- Identify, preserve and manage natural plant communities.
- Minimize construction damage and revegetate disturbed areas with native plants that are ecologically appropriate for the area.
- Work with trail user groups and local citizen groups to foster understanding of and participation in management.
- Interpret natural plant communities and management practices to the recreating public.
- Provide technical information and assistance to staff and to the public.
- Integrate natural resource management priorities into regional budgets.
