Within the lands managed by the Hollister Field Office are three Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, two Research Natural Areas, two National Monuments, a National Historic Trail, and a National Recreation Trail.

Fort Ord National Monument has been seeing numerous improvements to the already stellar trail system.  Recently Trails 35 and 49 have been rerouted to be more enjoyable and more sustainable over time.

These improvements are part of the continuing effort to provide safe and enjoyable recreation opportunities on public lands.  For more information visit our Recreation and Fort Ord NM web pages.
