Notes

Scope and Content:
Nearly half of the nation’s residents spend time each year engaged in outdoor recreation (Figure 1). The natural world enriches outdoor activities: the spectacular scenery; the amazing wildlife; flowers and trees; clear skies; blue waters; and so much more. Being outdoors is a part of the very fabric of life for so many, and has been for generations. Nowadays, with electronics taking over our lives, getting outdoors happens far too seldom for adults and children alike. But when we do get outdoors it is refreshing, invigorating and provides a sense of well-being as we relax and reconnect with nature. This is what the American outdoor experience is all about.
