Abstract: This task order provides
for a cooperative effort between the identified parties to
develop an individual observation travel cost methodology
suitable for analyzing BLM visitor data to determine the
recreational values on public lands in Wyoming. With
concurrence with OMB, preliminary estimates of the net economic
value of visitors to 21 BLM sites using visitor trip data
previously collected by BLM. To the extent possible,
extrapolate the results of net economic value estimates and net
willingness to pay for these 21 sites to estimate the national
economic value and net willingness to pay for recreation on all
BLM lands.
