  • National Park Service staff perspectives on how climate change affects visitor use

    Open AccessSarah Rappaport Keener, Emily Wilkins et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Many public lands, including those managed by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), have the purpose of conserving natural and cultural resources and providing opportunities for visitors to recreate in and enjoy these areas. Achieving this mission becomes more challenging as drought, flooding, increasing temperatures and other climatic change effects are impacting NPS lands and visitors and affecting factors such as visitation, recreation access …

  • Where wilderness is found

    Open AccessMonika M Derrien, Samantha G Winder et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Outdoor recreation is an essential way many people engage with nature. The provision of public spaces for recreation intersects with conservation practices motivated by intertwined social and ecological values, such as strict practices associated with the concept of ‘wilderness’. Debates persist about how such concepts and management practices influence people's recreation experiences. Many US public land management agencies facilitate opportunit…

  • A text-messaging chatbot to support outdoor recreation monitoring through community science

    Open AccessEmilia H Lia, Monika M Derrien et al.ARTICLEDigital Geography and Society2023References: 6

    Public land managers depend on reliable and readily available data about outdoor recreation in parks and greenspaces. However, traditional recreation monitoring techniques including visitor surveying and counting cannot be implemented over large spatial and temporal scales, especially in remote and undeveloped settings where monitoring is costly. To fill these data gaps, and thereby inform decision-making, this study develops and tests the effica…

  • An open‐source image classifier for characterizing recreational activities across landscapes

    Open AccessSamantha G Winder, Heera Lee et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Environmental management increasingly relies on information about ecosystem services for decision‐making. Compared with regulating and provisioning services, cultural ecosystem services (CES) are particularly challenging to characterize and measure at management‐relevant spatial scales, which has hindered their consideration in practice. Social media are one source of spatially explicit data on where environments support various types of CES, inc…

  • Applying Novel Visitation Models using Diverse Social Media to Understand Recreation Change after Wildfire and Site Closure

    Eric M White, Samantha G Winder et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2022Cited by: 2References: 1

    Natural disturbances such as wildfires are increasing in severity and frequency. Although the ecological impacts of disturbance are well documented, we have limited understanding of how disturbances and associated management responses influence recreation use patterns. This reflects, in part, difficulty in quantifying recreation use across different land ownerships with inconsistent, or non-existent, recreation monitoring practices. In this study…
