520 $a The purpose of this study was to explore how observing heavily impacted wilderness campsites and restoration activities to restore them influences the quality of visitor experience and opinions of managers.
520 $a These findings provide researchers and managers with both an increased understanding of how management actions influence wilderness visitor experiences, and a set of recommendations to address heavily impacted campsites in wilderness.
520 $a The study conducted in the Mission Mountains Wilderness (“MMW”) used data collected from 293 visitor surveys, 33 field interviews and 2 visitor focus groups. Located in Northwestern Montana, the MMW is managed by the USDA Forest Service. In addition, data from a national survey of 33 Forest Service wilderness managers were used for this study.
520 $a The visitor survey results indicate that visitors noticed heavily impacted campsites that diminished their experience. Visitors who observed restoration activities during their visit felt it positively influenced their experience and opinions of managers. Visitor reactions to campsite conditions and support for restoration are based on information gained from prior visits, visitor perceptions of what wilderness should look like, and by comparing the conditions of campsites observed at other wilderness areas.
520 $a Results from the visitor interviews indicate that visitors support restoration activities, do not like to see heavily impacted campsites, and hold managers responsible. Results from the focus group with restoration volunteers indicate that visitor participation in wilderness restoration resulted in strong feelings about the need to actively restore heavily impacted campsites. For these volunteers attachment to a particular place seems to coincide with an equally strong resistance to increased limitations on access. Results from the focus group with long-time visitors indicate that these visitors possess a rich source of historical and contemporary information about the area and its visitors and support most management actions.
520 $a The manager results show that well executed restoration plans are positive for visitors, managers and for the wilderness resource as well. Comparing visitor and manager responses indicate that observing restoration of heavily impacted campsites improves the quality of visitor experience, visitor opinions of managers and demonstrates that the area is well cared for.
