OUTDOOR RECREATION PLANNER - Havasu, AZ – Field Office

Description:

Fortuna Pond is identified as a Coordinated Management Area (CMA) in the Yuma Resource Management Plan and is managed cooperatively by the BLM Yuma Field Office, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and Bureau of Reclamation-Yuma Area Office. A draft plan for the CMA currently provides management guidance. The plan needs to be updated and finalized to allow for fee collection in the CMA to cover costs for trash collection, installation of vault toilets, signage, and volunteer support. The DHA Project is to update the current draft plan so it will be ready to finalize. The intern would have an opportunity to work in a team environment to interact with BLM and partner staff to gather and clarify information. Independent work will be needed to compile information and maps to update the draft and make it ready for review. There will be feedback from the project supervisor and BLM/partner specialists throughout the entire project as needed.
