An environmental summary by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.

The National Park Service (NPS) is working toward the creation of a continuous, 1,200-mile non-motorized recreation trail that will roughly follow the historic route of the Anza Expedition of 1775-76 [1] .

Background

The eighteenth century expeditions of Juan Bautista de Anza are promoted through the Anza National Historic Trail. The original expedition was about 1,800 miles from Sonora across Alta California to the Bay Area and established what became San Francisco [2]. This trail is managed through collaboration and partnering with organizations and individuals.

Management

The Anza Trail Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that raises visibility and promotes knowledge of Juan Bautista de Anza and the Anza National Historic Trail. This non-profit does not own or manage any land or resources associated with the trail. They work in partnership with federal, state, county, city, and other public agencies, as well as non-profit organizations, private landowners, volunteers, and others who maintain, build, certify, protect, and interpret the Anza Trail.

Trail Condition

Certified and uncertified sections of recreational trail as well as trail resources such as educational signage are established within or near the Historic Trail Corridor of the Anza expedition. Approximately 300 miles of recreation trail have been certified so far do not currently connect into one continuous trail [3]. These certified trail segments are independently operated by various land-use agencies. Therefore, their hours, fees, and use rules vary. Sections of the trail are present in Mexico, Arizona, and California and the northern boundary of the trail is in San Francisco Bay.

Central Coast Context

In the Monterey Bay area there are multiple sections of uncertified trail near the Fort Ord National Monument (FONM) and City of Monterey. There is a section along highway 68, Munras Avenue, Aguajito to Camino Aguajito roads, highway 218 through Del Rey Oaks, and the eastern portion of Fort Ord National Monument near highway 68.

In the Salinas area, there are two portions of trail along Natividad Creek and Constitution boulevard towards Gabilan Creek.
