Abstract

This chapter will investigate who are the visitors and nonusers of outdoor recreation opportunities, and what factors influence or inhibit forest visitation. Additionally, it will focus on identifying a research agenda that links the cultural ecosystem services of outdoor recreation with issues of diversity and cultural and social constructs in the actual delivery and use of this public service, and develop management strategies to better increase visitation rates on nonusers.
