Facilities Management Plan

The Big Basin Redwoods State Park Facilities Management Plan (BBFMP) was completed between 2023 and 2025. The BBFMP plans all park facilities to be rebuilt after the 2020 CZU Fire. It also helps streamline final design and environmental review for infrastructure and facility construction. The BBFMP is intended to be utilized by California State Parks management, staff, park partners, and stakeholders. The recommendations in the BBFMP are based on principles in the Reimagining Big Basin Vision Summary, consultation with California State Parks Santa Cruz District staff, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Non-profit partners and agencies that manage nearby properties, representatives from Tribal Nations and other indigenous group representatives, as well as feedback from the public.

Are There Other Planning Projects Happening at Big Basin?

While the BBFMP is an important planning process that includes comprehensive analysis and planning for specific sites, there are several other planning processes that together will help shape the future of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Other planning processes and ongoing recovery efforts including a Road and Trails Management Plan, and the completed Forest Management Strategy are described on the Visit Big Basin page.
