In 1985 and 1986, the Bureau of Public Lands contracted the Island Institute to make management recommendations for approximately 100 state-owned islands with potential for recreational use. Together with Dave Getchell, we envisioned an ‘island trail’ managed by user-volunteers that advanced a model of low-impact use. In 1992, MITA was spun off from the Institute at the request of its board.
