Abstract

In surveying managers of Iowa's campgrounds to determine their attitudes and behavior regarding recycling, it was found that attitudes were related to the type of educational backgrounds. For example, managers with park and recreation degrees had less strong conservation orientation than those with educational training in natural sciences which tended to develop the strongest conservationist orientation.
