Abstract

Anticipating and preparing for the future are among the challenges land managers face when making decisions about how to balance the public's desire for outdoor recreation with ecological concerns. A recent General Technical Report by Lynne Westphal, emerit research social scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Northern Research Station, aims to assist managers by analyzing potential changes in recreation on public lands 30 years into the future.
