| The National Visitor Use Monitoring (NVUM) survey is being conducted on the Okanogan- Wenatchee National Forest starting October 1, 2019 and will go through September 30, 2020. “The survey is entirely voluntary,” said Forest Recreation Program Manager Suzanne Cable. “It is extremely important for people to participate so we can assess visitor experiences on the national forest and strive to make it a better place to visit. We really appreciate all those who are willing to answer a few questions. It’s important for interviewers to talk with local people using the forest, as well as out-of-area visitors, so all are represented in the study.” full news release |
