In this episode of ‘In the Woods’, host Lauren Grand , Lane County Extension Forester, talks with Dr. Ashley D’Antonio, an associate professor in nature-based recreation management and forestry chair at OSU, and discusses land management practices to help foster sustainable outdoor recreation through research methods and practices.
Quote: “So we can use recreation ecology studies to understand where people are going, how they interact with that sensitive resource, and then hopefully use tools like education and outreach to help visitors mitigate their impacts in those places.”
