This grant is for developing and testing an innovative visitor use modeling approach, aiming to significantly reduce the number of visitors surveyed on lands managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), while maintaining statistically valid data. The initiative seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of this model for BLM lands, drawing upon existing successful methodologies like the USDA Forest Service’s National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) data from National Forests and Grasslands. By leveraging proven techniques, the grant intends to optimize data collection processes, enhance efficiency in visitor use estimation, and enable better-informed management decisions for BLM-managed areas. This research represents a crucial step towards more sustainable and cost-effective visitor monitoring practices.

| Description: | To test an idea that has the potential to survey less visitor to BLM managed lands while gaining statically valid visitor use date. Based on data collected on National Forests and Grasslands using USDA Forest Service National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) data to demonstrate the feasibility of such a model to estimate visitor use for lands managed by US Dept of the Interior, BLM. |
