3. Gain an understanding of how the
agency’s management of the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge and other
potential factors facilitate and constrain
a visitor’s recreation experience,
4. Gain an understanding of how to
educate recreation visitors so they do
not leave impacts from their visits, such
as damaged vegetation, litter, polluted
lakes and streams, and wildlife
disturbance while engaging in high
quality, safe, and responsible recreation
visits, and
5. Provide insight into what visitors
value most about this place to help
inform development of a Wilderness
Stewardship Plan and a Visitor Use
Management Plan for the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge.
Respondents will be recreation
visitors to the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge. Visitors will be contacted as
they enter the Refuge, or upon exit and
will be provided with a postage-paid
postcard that offers them alternate
methods to respond to the survey: (1)
Mail the postage-paid postcard to the
Leopold Institute with a name and
address to receive a mail back survey,
(2) mail the postage-paid postcard to the
Leopold Institute with an electronic
email address to receive an electronic
form of the survey, or (3) keep the
postcard that contains a web address for
on-line completion of the survey. All
responses will be voluntary and
confidential. Data collected in this
information collection are not available
from other sources and have not been
collected since 1977.
This study will only ask recreation
visitors, who are non-local and nonsubsistence users, questions about their
recreation visit, their personal
demographics relevant to education and
interpretation goals, and factors that
have influenced or are likely to
influence their recreation visits. Survey
respondents will be told that this
information is voluntary and
confidential so their names will not be
connected to their responses in any
way. The Survey will not include
questions related to oil exploration or
development within the boundaries of
the Refuge.

Refuge.
