Begun in 1960, NationalRecreation Survey (NRS) series began as a four-season, in-the-home survey of outdoorrecreation participation in the United States. Since then, five additional surveys have beenconducted: 1965, 1970, 1972, 1977, and 1982-83, and one NSRE in 1994-95. The NationalSurvey on Recreation and the Environment (NSRE) represents the continuation of theongoing National Recreation Survey (NRS) series. Results from household interviewsaround the nation as well as expected trends in numerous recreation activities are covered.The latest NSRE is a telephone survey and has already begun. For more details about thisUSDA Forest Service effort, see http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/trends/Nsre/nsre2.html.Academic Resources. Many universities have departments focusing on recreationeconomics. They may have already done studies in the region that can be used as reference,or may be interested in providing faculty guidance or graduate student assistance for newstudies. One particularly useful site is Michigan State’s Department of Park, Recreationand Tourism Resources which maintains a website on “Economic Impacts of Recreationand Tourism” at http://www.msu.edu/course/prr/840/econimpact/.Table 31.
