Title: The state of the great outdoors
Description: This report covers the status of America's outdoor resources, the demand for recreation, and the financing of conservation, parks, and open space. It was carried out in conjunction with the Outdoor Resources Review Group, a bipartisan assemblage of public officials, conservation specialists, and recreation professionals that released its own policy recommendations in a July 2009 report. This newer study gives trends in the demand and supply of outdoor recreation resources, open space, and conservation lands in the United  States over the past quarter century and an assessment  of public and private sector funding and financing  of conservation and recreation. Much of the work is retrospective, looking at historical trends in how outdoor  resources are managed and used and evaluating success stories.
