Abstract: Nature and the outdoors 

have always been an important part of 

the fabric of American life. However, 

there are major questions about the 

present and future role of nature and the 

outdoors in our increasingly diverse, 

technologically oriented, and rapidly 

changing society. For our programs to 

remain relevant to American life today 

and tomorrow, we must be aware of 

public sentiment toward the part nature 

plays in the quality of our lifestyles. 

It is for these reasons that we plan to 

use a quantitative survey to collect 

information on the attitudes that the 

public maintains towards the natural 

environment; the effects of contact with 

nature on participants’ health and 

quality of life; the extent of contact with 

nature and obstacles to greater contact 

with nature; general knowledge of 

nature and wildlife; concerns toward 

selected environmental issues; and 

socio-demographic variables. Results 

will help improve the design and 

delivery of new or existing programs 

aimed at engaging the public in naturerelated activities (e.g., outreach and 

educational programming at national 

wildlife refuges and national fish 

hatcheries). 

Comments Received and Our Responses 

On May 19, 2015, we published in the 

Federal Register (80 FR 28638) a notice 

of our intent to request that OMB 

approve this information collection. In 

that notice, we solicited comments for 

60 days, ending on July 20, 2015. We 

received one comment. The commenter 

objected to the use of taxpayer dollars 

for the survey, but did not address the 

information collection requirements. We 

did not make any changes to the survey 

based on this comment.
