Abstract: To help meet Federal agencies' mandates related to recreation, scientists at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute will monitor and report, to managers and the public, visitor use and user characteristics, and visitor feedback on management actions in the Arctic National Wildlife refuge. Agency representatives will collect information to ensure that visitors' recreational activities do not harm the natural resources of the refuge and that wilderness-type recreation experiences are protected.
