NF Visitor Use Monitoring Program To Know & Better Serve our NF visitors
How Does NVUM Work? • 20% of forests sampled each year • Forests identify all road, trail exits & recreation sites • Assigned stratified random sample • Obtain 24 hour traffic count • Conduct 6 hrs onsite interviews
HOW DOES NVUM WORK? PREWORK STRATIFICATION § Site type • • • Overnight Use Developed Sites (OUDs) Day Use Developed Sites (DUDs) General Forest Areas (GFAs) Wilderness View Corridor § Site Day • Very High, Medium, Low § Proxy or non-proxy
HOW DOES NVUM WORK? ON-SITE INTERVIEWS § Basic (50%) § Satisfaction (25%) § Economic (25%) § Spanish (as needed)
Why We Did It In response to Agency need for Improved understanding of visitor use & satisfaction Reliable, science based visitor data
NVUM Survey Cycles • Sampling Cycle #1 10/2000 – 9/2003 • Sampling Cycle 2 10/2004 – 9/2008 • Succeeding survey cycles – Every 5 years

In Land Management Decisions – Best placement of LIMITED RESOURCES • Niche ID • Based on current visitor satisfaction Applications
In Land Management Decisions RECREATION NICHE ID Based on Visitor Characteristics • Age • Race • Activity participation • Outdoor recreation expenditure profiles • Length of stay • Satisfaction Applications
Important Definitions National Forest Visit Entry of one person upon a NF to participate in recreation activities. Must be contiguous. Site Visit Entry of one person onto a NF site or area to participate in recreation activities.
More definitions: Recreation trip Duration of time beginning when visitor left home and ending when they get back to their home. Confidence level and error rate Used together to define the reliability of the estimated visits.
Workshop Uinta National Forest
What is a RS-FMP: ? Niche The specific recreation focus of a forest incorporating (demand) public expectations with unique social and ecological features of the land (supply).
Niche Design DEMAND Using NVUM (forest use data), US Census (population trends) and NSRE (Market Zone resident rec activities) to develop visitor use. SUPPLY Using Infra Site Inventory, ROS, SMS and SOP to develop Forest assets and amenities.
Demand It’s important to know what our visitors demand because: It provides context to help us make decisions. It calibrates our thinking about what is occurring on the forest.
Current Use Estimated use Visitor Origin & Market Zone Visitor Characteristics Visitor Activity Satisfaction and Importance

Summary of Visitor Characteristics Most visitors are from the local surrounding counties. There are significantly more young people recreating on this Forest than most other Forests, but visitors represent the age distribution of the market zone. Predominately day-use with some weekend overnight stays.
