About the App

The CMC RIMS program was launched in 2019 to help land manager collect and utilized crowdsourced data to better understand and address critical issues related to recreation and natural resources.  The RIMS Mobile App is the data collection tool which includes GPS point data, detailed surveys, photos, editing and sharing features, and offline functionality.  Users can complete an online training in just 20 minutes to get access to the full monitoring capabilities in the app:

• Report trail maintenance needs like downed trees, erosion issues & structure damage
• Inventory campsites to document fire rings, tree damage and trash
• Track visitor use to understand user types and seasonal trends
