Abstract

Recreationists are free to ignore many of a land manager's communication efforts. Greatest effectiveness can be expected for presentations that are dynamic and are tailored to the interests and other characteristics of selected visitor groups that permit participation and reward learning, and that provide both an idea of what is coming and a framework to give it coherence.
