This monitoring project aims to:

  1. detect impacts that may occur to key values as a result of horse riding on the pilot wilderness trails within the two-year trial period
  2. define thresholds for implementing management interventions to protect key values from irreversible damage and inform park managers of any threshold triggers
  3. detect whether interventions are successful in ensuring key values are protected from irreversible damage.
