Current Research:
Fundamentally, all of my research addresses the use of public lands for outdoor recreation or environmental interpretation. Public recreation areas include national, state and local parks and other natural resource lands, related to the use by citizens for outdoor recreation and environmental programs. Currently I am investigating the relationship between supply and demand for these places, in which local government providers of parks and recreation make decisions in relation to perceptions among citizens for how the sites should be managed.
