Excerpt from Wilderness Recreation Use Trends: 1965 Through 1994 More than 30 years have passed since the Wilder ness Act created the National Wilderness Preserva tion System, originally consisting of 54 Forest Ser vice wildernesses and just over 9 million acres. Most of these original wildernesses were noted primarily for their outstanding recreational opportunities and were in the mountains of the Western United States.

Outdoor Recreation in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska

Book Description
Population growth in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska is expected to increase demand for outdoor recreation on public land. This trend will be tempered by changes in the sociodemographic composition of the population. Among sociodemographic characteristics, different ages and incomes correspond to different participation rates. Although older Americans are participating more, participation is still lower among this group for active pursuits. Hence, as the population ages, demand for passive activities may increase. Low-income people participate at a much lower rate than higher income people in outdoor recreation, and the growing disparity between the wealthy and poor may create inequities in opportunities for participation. State recreation planning documents for Oregon, Washington, and Alaska have identified this issue as a significant concern for recreation providers. Another important factor in recreation trends in the region is ethnicity: different ethnic groups participate in outdoor recreation at different rates, exhibit some different preferences for specific activities, and use recreation sites in different ways. In Alaska, the number of Asian/Pacific Islanders is expected to quadruple by 2025; in Oregon, the Hispanic population may triple by 2025; and in Washington, both these segments of the population may double.
