Email subject line: [Location] Visitor Survey

[First name],

Thank you for recently visiting public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management in [location]. The U.S. Geological Survey is helping conduct a survey to learn more about the public’s uses and values of public lands so that the Bureau of Land Management can take public values into account during planning and decision-making. This survey will include a mapping interface, where you can place points on a map to indicate locations you use or value on public lands and waters around [location].

Your participation in this survey is voluntary and has been approved through the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Control #XXXX-XXXX). We recommend using a computer or tablet rather than a mobile device, and it should take around 15 minutes to complete. Once you complete the survey, your name and email address will be deleted from our list and never connected to your answers in any way.
