Wildlife Tourism on Pennsylvania Public Lands (2018)
January 16, 2018 | Environment and Natural Resources
This research examined the characteristics of wildlife tourists and their non-consumptive use of wildlife assets on Pennsylvania public lands, with a special focus on Pennsylvania State Game Lands (SGLs). The main purpose of the SGLs are to manage habitat for wildlife and provide opportunities for lawful hunting and trapping. At times, the non-consumptive use of SGLs has been a point of contention. The research was designed to describe wildlife tourism on Pennsylvania's public lands from the perspective of wildlife tourists and wildlife tourism stakeholders, and review central policy issues surrounding Pennsylvania SGLs access and use.
