Recreation Participation

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which outdoor recreation participation changes across the lifespan. Age differences and age changes in leisure involvement were examined within the framework of abandonment, liberation, and continuity. Personal interview data were gathered as part of the 1982–1983 Nationwide Recreation Survey (NRS). The NRS was conducted on a sample of individuals ( N = 6720) twelve years of age or older in the non-institutionalized United States population. The data indicated that neither the abandonment nor liberation perspective are accurate reflections of what happens with increasing age. In fact, there appears to be as much variation within age groups as across those groups. If any one pattern does occur more often than the other, it is continuity. There does, however, appear to be a perception of future abandonment among the oldest group of respondents. The findings of this study indicate variables other than age may account for expansion, contraction, and continuity across the lifespan.

The City

Harris County, Texas, the site of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF’s) fourth annual Sharing Knowledge conference in 2019, has been tested. Hurricane Harvey, the catastrophic storm that struck just over 18 months earlier, was one of the worst weather-related events ever faced by the city of Houston and its surrounding area, and the continuing impact of climate change suggests it will not be the last. The city’s 2.3 million residents have also dealt with industrial accidents, borne the brunt of devastating floods, and provided refuge to people fleeing other disaster areas in the southern United States and to immigrants from around the world....

This article analyzes the impacts of different levels of forest productivity scenarios, disturbance risk, and salvageable rates resulting from climate change on the economics of loblolly pine in the southern United States. Potential adaptation strategies examined include reduction in planting density and use of slash pine instead of loblolly pine. Economic returns are most sensitive to changes in disturbance risk and productivity changes as compared with the salvage rate, planting density, or species selection. Loblolly pine with low planting density economically outperforms high-density loblolly pine. Slash pine is generally a less viable option compared with loblolly pine in most cases.
