Jeremy Call, Logan Simpson, Inc.
Jeremy is a historic landscape architect and certified planner who specializes in documenting and evaluating scenic and historic settings, sacred places, and site and recreation planning. He has presented methods to improve inventory, management, and monitoring National Trails at ten national and state conferences. His team at Logan Simpson assisted BLM in preparing the new interagency National Scenic and Historic Trails Inventory, Assessment, and Monitoring Methodology and Field Guide and rolling out a new training program to strengthen partnerships between land managers and trail associations. Prior to that assignment, Jeremy supported the BLM Wyoming State Office’s Conceptual Guidelines for NHT Visitor Services and Interpretation, and led the consultant team’s ARRA NHT Inventory of more than 800 miles across seven western states for the Old Spanish, El Camino de Tierra Adentro, California, Oregon, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express NHTs. The inventory integrated archaeological, cultural landscape, and visual resource resources and formed the basis for BLM Manual 6280. Jeremy has also prepared feasibility studies, management plans, interpretation/recreation improvements, and/or Resource Management Plans or NEPA for segments of the Four Trails (Missouri to the West Coast), California NHT (Nevada and California), Continental Divide NST (Wyoming and Colorado), Juan Bautista de Anza NHT / Butterfield Overland Trail (Arizona), Old Spanish Trail (Grand Staircase Escalante NM), El Camino de la Tierra Adentro (El Rancho de Las Golondrinas in Santa Fe), and Wyoming’s South Pass Historic District.
