Book excerpt: In recent years, outdoor recreation has become increasingly important on national forests across the United States. As a result, Forest Service managers provide a diverse set of recreation opportunities to the public and there is greater recognition of the economic activity that public recreation can generate in local communities. Accurate visitation estimates are required for national, regional, and forest-level decisionmaking and planning. Specifically, the estimators are needed to determine benefits and impacts of recreational use on other forest resources and local economies. Estimates also are needed to determine outdoor recreation trends and to quantify the effectiveness of Federal programs. However, prior to the creation of the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) Program in 2000 (English and others 2002), no statistically based, uniformly applied methodology was used to estimate national forest recreation visitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nationwide, systematic monitoring process has been developed to provide improved estimates of recreation visitation on National Forest System lands. Methodology is presented to provide estimates of site visits and national forest visits based on an onsite sampling design of site-days and last-exiting recreationists. Stratification of the site days, based on site type and use level, is used to improve the estimates by reducing variability. Forests are sampled on a 4-year cycle, with a fourth of the forests sampled each year. The site visit and national forest visit estimates for each of the 121 forests sampled in round 1 (2000 to 2003) are presented along with their coefficients of variation and 90-percent confidence intervals. In addition, these estimates are decomposed into their nonproxy, proxy, and Special Events components which provide a level of transparency important for understanding the estimation process and for building credibility among the users of these National Visitor Use Monitoring estimates. The concepts, equations, and data presented are reinforced by illustrating a typical analysis of the visitation estimation process for the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. This includes site- day characteristics of the nonproxy and proxy strata, information about the National Visitor Use Monitoring sampling process, and detailed calculation of the national forest visit estimate for the nonproxy, proxy, and Special Event components of the visitation estimate. The total national visitation estimate is the summation of all the individual forest visit estimates. The national site visit estimate for 2004 was 239,009,917 with a 90-percent confidence interval of 231,554,913 to 246,464,921 and a coefficient of variation of 1.90 percent. The national forest visit estimate, circa 2004, was 204,358,864 with a 90-percent confidence interval of 197,468,684 to 211,249,044 and a coefficient of variation of 2.05.

Book excerpt: Estimates of national forest recreation use are available at the national, regional, and forest levels via the USDA Forest Service National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) program. In some resource planning and management applications, analysts desire recreation use estimates for subforest areas within an individual national forest or for subforest areas that combine portions of several national forests. In this research note we have detailed two approaches whereby the NVUM sampling data may be used to estimate recreation use for a subforest area within a single national forest or for a subforest area combining portions of more than one national forest. The approaches differ in their data requirements, complexity, and assumptions. In the "new forest" approach, recreation use is estimated by using NVUM data obtained only from NVUM interview sites within the area of interest. In the "all-forest information" approach, recreation use is estimated by using sample data gathered on all portions of the national forest(s) that contain the area of interest.

Book excerpt: Chaparral shrubland ecosystems are an iconic feature of the California landscape, and a highly biodiverse yet highly flammable backdrop to some of the fastest growing urban areas in the United States. Chaparral-type ecosystems are a common element of all of the world’s Mediterranean-type climate regions – of which California is one – yet there is little public appreciation of the intrinsic value and the ecosystem services that these landscapes provide. Valuing Chaparral is a compendium of contributions from experts in chaparral ecology and management, with a focus on the human relationship with chaparral ecosystems. Chapters cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from biodiversity to ecosystem services like water provision, erosion control, carbon sequestration and recreation; from the history of human interactions with chaparral to current education and conservation efforts; and from chaparral restoration and management to scenarios of the future under changing climate, land use, and human population. Valuing Chaparral will be of interest to resource managers, the research community, policy makers, and the public who live and work in the chaparral dominated landscapes of California and other Mediterranean-type climate regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USDA Forest Service implemented the National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) program across the entire National Forest System (NFS) in calendar year 2000. The primary objective of the NVUM program is to develop reliable estimates of recreation use on NFS lands via a nationally consistent, statistically valid sampling approach. Secondary objectives of NVUM are to characterize recreation visits, collect data in support of regional economic analyses, and gauge national forest visitor satisfaction. We document and review the round 1 NVUM implementation in the USDA Forest Service Alaska Region (R-10) with examination of the R-10 prework, sample day implementation, survey completion rates, sampling at cabins, boat docks, and air carriers; and the NVUM expansion weights assigned to survey cases. Several opportunities to improve the implementation of the standard NVUM protocols in R-10 are identified.
