This grant is for a crucial social science research initiative focused on U.S. National Parks. The project’s primary objective is to investigate deeply the perceptions of climate change among park visitors and their responsiveness to specific, place-based climate change messages delivered within park settings. The valuable insights generated from this comprehensive study will directly benefit front-line park interpreters and volunteers. By providing them with actionable information and a better understanding of visitor perspectives, this research is designed to significantly enhance their capacity to develop and deliver highly effective climate change education programs. The ultimate goal is to improve public understanding, foster engagement, and promote informed action regarding climate change and its implications for national park conservation.
