Abstract

This paper provides a brief legislative history of Corps responsibilities for public recreation, outlines its relationships with non-federal agencies and organizations and describes a number of environmental concerns it sees in its new outlook for management of recreation resources. A Recreation- Resource Management System is also described that contains data on the management of natural and developed resources, personnel and other relevant subjects at more than 400 Corps projects.
