About
In this webinar, the presenters discuss specific case studies from Texas and Wyoming in order to demonstrate how recent research and survey efforts have enabled park systems to acquire and use data to understand public perceptions of their agencies and advance their respective missions.
Using the case studies to guide their discussion, the presenters and participants identify information gaps where further research could benefit individual state park systems or the broader system of US state parks.
