Abstract The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to sponsor visitor use surveys for the Headwaters Forest Reserve (Reserve) and the King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA). The Secretary of the Interior acquired the Reserve under the authority of the 1998 Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, Public Law 105–83 (codified at 16 USC 471j), and established the KRNCA under the authority of Public Law 91–476 (codified at 16 USC 460y–460y–9). The Reserve and the KRNCA are managed by the BLM Arcata Field Office in Northern California and are part of BLM’s National Landscape Conservation System. The proposed visitor use surveys would contribute to the implementation of the Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for the Reserve and the KRNC that the BLM approved in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In order to achieve resource protection and recreation goals set forth in the RMPs, BLM must gather accurate data regarding visitor use characteristics. Baseline studies of visitor use characteristics were conducted in the Reserve and the KRNCA in 1999 and 2003, respectively. These past studies provided comprehensive information about visitors’ demographics and visitors’ views on facilities, conflicts, existing and proposed management actions, resource conditions, and desires for the area. Since those initial studies, several changes have occurred in each area, including the addition of new facilities, and implementation of new management actions, and increasing annual visitation. A new visitor use study is needed in each area to determine changes in visitor characteristics, including demographics, usage, user conflicts, and perspectives toward management programs and facilities. The IC methods will include conducting on-site interviews with visitors on a stratified random sampling basis and distributing mail-back questionnaires. The IC will take place during the summer season when visitation rates are highest. Data will be analyzed and a final report developed for both the Reserve and the KRNCA. This collection of information will enable the BLM to respond to problems, protect natural and cultural resources, and develop appropriate interpretive programs. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to sponsor visitor
use surveys for the Headwaters Forest Reserve (Reserve) and the King
Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA). The Secretary of the Interior
acquired the Reserve under the authority of the 1998 Department of the
Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, Public Law 105-83
(codified at 16 USC 471j), and established the KRNCA under the
authority of Public Law 91-476 (codified at 16 USC 460y-460y-9). The
Reserve and the KRNCA are managed by the BLM Arcata Field Office in
Northern California and are part of BLM's National Landscape
Conservation System.
The proposed visitor use surveys would contribute to the
implementation of the Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for the Reserve
and the KRNC that the BLM approved in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In
order to achieve resource protection and recreation goals set forth in
the RMPs, BLM must gather accurate data regarding visitor use
characteristics. Baseline studies of visitor use characteristics were
conducted in the Reserve and the KRNCA in 1999 and 2003, respectively.
These past studies provided comprehensive information about visitors'
demographics and visitors' views on facilities, conflicts, existing and
proposed management actions, resource conditions, and desires for the
area. Since those initial studies, several changes have occurred in
each area, including the addition of new facilities, and implementation
of new management actions, and increasing annual visitation. A new
visitor use study is needed in each area to determine changes in
visitor characteristics, including demographics, usage, user conflicts,
and perspectives toward management programs and facilities. The IC
methods will include conducting on-site interviews with visitors on a
stratified random sampling basis and distributing mail-back
questionnaires. The IC will take place during the summer season when
visitation rates are highest. Data will be analyzed and a final report
developed for both the Reserve and the KRNCA. This collection of
information will enable the BLM to respond to problems, protect natural
and cultural resources, and develop appropriate interpretive programs.
