Basecamp isn't a typical research conference filled with endless Powerpoint presentations. Rather, our goal is to bring together a mix of outdoor recreation researchers, agency scientists, and outdoor recreation planners/managers to collaborate on solutions to today's most pressing outdoor recreation management challenges. The two-day gathering is organized around four of the Research Focus Areas developed through the Igniting the Science of Outdoor Recreation initiative's Sustainable Recreation Research Workshop. The four Research Focus Areas that define each Basecamp gathering will be rotated on a bi-annual basis and amended/updated as needed.
