Understanding visitors’ preferences for recreation sites during wildfire- and drought-induced displacements in the Southern California national forests
The four national forests in Southern California are dominated by the chaparral biome and are visited by millions of people annually. These forest ecosystems are impacted by wildfires and drought, which coincide with the peak outdoor recreation season. This study applied a discrete choice experiment to understand visitors’ preferences for site and environmental attributes in wildfire- and drought-induced displacement scenarios. Two surveys were c…
From Classroom to Canopy: Co-creating a Forest Recreation Community Engaged Learning Model to Cultivate Student Leadership and Connect Research and Education
This research note discusses a collaborative scholarship model integrating funded research with Community Engaged Learning (CEL) between undergraduate courses at Michigan State University and Kansas State University. Cross-institutional student groups comparatively assessed national forest management issues in Southern California with those across the Midwest. Guided by CEL principles, students interacted virtually with Forest Service managers, e…
Burnt out on wildfire warnings: Quality messages drive recreationists’ safety, but overload backfires
California (US) residents receive copious information regarding wildfires, especially during fire season. As climate change increases fire severity and frequency, fire messaging will likely also increase. This increase, alongside questions of the perceived relevance of such messaging, may lead to residents experiencing message fatigue, potentially influencing their perception about wildfire risk. If risk messaging is received by fatigued forest r…
Feedback motivations of recreation participants (FMRP): Scale development and validation
In recreation, sustainability includes engaging participants in the structure of offerings and understanding their motivations for giving feedback on current conditions and desired improvements. This study introduces the Feedback Motivations of Recreation Participants (FMRP) scale, which identifies motivations of recreation participants to give feedback and, consequently, obstacles they encounter when giving feedback. After a comprehensive litera…
Mountain biking and environmental justice: What can “the bike boom” teach us about recreation equity
How to define urban park relevance? Examining and integrating US National Park Service and partner views on the goal of “relevance to all Americans”
Park agencies must consider their engagement strategies’ relevance. Urban and local relevance are enduring foci. Agencies thus collaborate with partners serving urban, local audiences to bridge the park-community boundary. Yet, relevance is relative. How, then, can views on park relevance from an agency and its partners be reconciled for a collaborative view of parks’ cityscape contributions? We examined this conundrum within the Urban Agenda of …
Partnerships and Community Building as Collaborative Assistance: Insights on Goal Presence, Hierarchy, and Integration from Urban Park Plans
Urban parks provide areas for human wellbeing and green space benefits in densely populated landscapes but cannot accomplish all their goals in isolation. They require assistance from collaborations to address challenges. The need for these collaborations is often codified in planning documents. We assisted Rock Creek Park (National Park Service, Washington, D.C.) in their considerations of where to place “partnerships” in their strategic plan by…
There’s More Negatives than Positives: Community Perceptions About Climate Changes to Water Ecosystem Services in Southeast Michigan
We Have Some Growing Pains: Developing A New Regional Recreation Conflict Model Through Examination of the Growth of Mountain Biking
Regional Relevance of a Cultural Park: Leverage Points Identified Through Spatial-Social Network Analysis
National parks often attract tourists but are challenged in connecting with locals. This disparity is especially prominent in small national cultural sites (e.g., historic homes with static content), which tend to attract tourists with niche interests but might not be viewed by locals as places for everyday leisure. How, then, can such a park enhance its geographic relevance? Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park (SAGA, New Hampshire, USA) provi…
Identification of High Fire Potential and High-Use Spatial Intersections at a National Forest to Understand Recreation Displacement Related to Wildfire Events
U.S. National Forest Service units in California are increasingly vulnerable to wildfires that could result in people being displaced during and after these events. The purpose of our study was to identify characteristics of national forest users potentially displaced due to recreation site closures from a wildfire event. This information is useful for managers to inform public outreach strategies. Our study focused on California’s Los Padres Nat…
What informs human–nature connection? An exploration of factors in the context of urban park visitors and wildlife
Human–nature connection (HNC) is a concept derived from investigating the formulation and extent of an individual's identification with the natural world. This relationship is often characterized as an emotional bond to nature that develops from the contextualized, physical interactions of an individual, beginning in childhood. This outcome presents complexity in evaluating the development of HNC but suggests optimism in the pathways for enhancin…

Before, during, and irrespective of the pandemic: Leisure constraints and urban national park visitation
Urban and urban-proximate national park sites provide diverse leisure opportunities for residents, yet potential barriers and constraints for visitation exist. We examined constraints prior to, during, and regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Washington, D.C. Metro area at Rock Creek Park and Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Visitors and non-visitors (n = 840) responses were assessed for differences in their (1) demograph…
Intersecting Identities: Investigating Effects of Multiple Hierarchy Stratification Perspective on Visitor Activity Participation
This study uses a multiple hierarchical stratification perspective to investigate the probability of activity participation among 1,774 Joshua Tree National Park visitors who responded to a visitor survey in 2019. According to the multiple hierarchy stratification perspective, an individual’s demographic characteristics interact and affect their social position and therefore their access to services or resources. The purpose of the study is to ga…
Structures Indicating a Shift Toward a Culture of Collaboration in National Park Service Urban Networks
Social Considerations of Ecotourism Planning in Nandapur, Chitwan National Park Buffer Zone, Nepal
Ecotourism holds promise of localized economic and environmental benefits. Yet, these benefits are often promoted in Nepal without assessing related challenges. Officials at Chitwan National Park plan to disperse tourism benefits and use more widely across the park buffer zone. The intention is to improve regional prosperity and alleviate impacts at the current, concentrated points of park entry. Park and tourism staff and government officials ha…

Public Awareness of and Visitation to National Parks by Racial/Ethnic Minorities
National parks are an important manifestation of the United States’ democratic ideal and attract more than 300 million visits annually. However, racial/ethnic minorities are substantially underrepresented among visitors, and this has led to three hypotheses—marginality, subculture, and discrimination—designed to help explain this pattern of visitation. Moreover, research suggests that the awareness of and visitation to national parks may relate t…
Effects of Transportation on Racial/Ethnic Diversity of National Park Visitors
The demographic composition of the United States is increasingly diverse, but racial/ethnic minority groups are substantially underrepresented in visiting national parks. Transportation is needed to provide access to national parks but may not be equally accessible to all groups in society. This study uses a general population survey of New York City residents to examine the role of transportation in visiting national parks by three racial/ethnic…
Coastal Resident Trust, Similarity, Attitudes, and Intentions Regarding New Marine Reserves in Oregon
This article examined coastal resident attitudes and behavioral intentions associated with new marine reserves (MRs) in Oregon, as well as resident perceived similarity and trust in the lead managing agency (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife). Data were obtained from a survey of residents along the Oregon coast (n = 596). Most residents perceived moderate similarity and trust in the agency, had stronger attitudes toward potential advantages …
Barrier or bridge? The role of transportation in national park visitation by racial and ethnic groups
A cornerstone of US national parks is their democratic ideal; the country's most iconic history and natural features should be accessible to all. However, this ideal has not yet been fully realized. Racial/ethnic minorities are substantially underrepresented in the national parks, and lack of transportation may contribute to this issue. This study examines national park visitation patterns of three racial/ethnic groups (Hispanic, Black and White)…
