National forests, parks, and other wildland areas are provided by state and federal governments for the use and enjoyment of all Americans. Not all people, however, use these areas for outdoor recreation. When people do not visit wildlands and other outdoor areas, forest and park managers want to know why. In this research, social scientists wanted to compare visitation to wildland areas for rural African Americans and White Americans.

This is the Spanish-language version of the article.
