Recently, groups representing the human-powered outdoor recreation community are playing an important role in natural resource management and conservation. Such civic recreation—recreation-based stewardship and advocacy aimed at preserving, creating, and restoring recreational resources—offers promise in an era of limited capacity on the part of la...
What is the role of civic recreation – recreation-based volunteering – in the human–nature relationship? Through a mixed-method research design, this article investigates what motivates outdoor recreationists, what predicts higher levels of volunteer engagement, and the outcomes volunteers report. Importantly, civic recreation volunteers are motiva...
Environmental citizenship is a concept that captures one's imagination and adds credibility to the sustainability imperative. While environmental citizenship has been theorized at length, it is still unclear what such citizenship actually looks like in practice or by which methods it can be cultivated. Drawing form the literature in green political...
Due to rapid growth in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), the risk to lives and property from wildfires is increasing in the western United States. While previous studies have identified factors that influence residents’ perceptions of wildfire risk and responsibility for mitigation, less research has been conducted on how mitigation information i...
States in the American West are experiencing significant population growth and exurban development, in addition to a longer fire season and a changing climate. These factors contribute to the increasing difficulty of managing wildfire in the Wildland–Urban Interface. Using data collected through a survey of fire professionals, this research investi...

... Although recreation visitors are most likely to adapt to short-term patterns where the primary forest location is not available for a planned recreation activity and visit, longer term impacts on recreation experience quality, recreation benefits, and place attachments are not well understood. Consideration may be given to implementing restoration and conservation engagement for visiting recreationists in the form of stewardship tourism given the considerable draw of some activities in the Sierra Nevada (Schild 2019, USDA FS 2010. ...

... Citizens' engagement with green policies in cities could be encouraged, for instance, by setting a combination of social and environmental goals, grounded on Environmental Citizenship (EC), which extends beyond immediate personal interests to include broader communal values [16]. Schild (2018) also pinpoints that citizens' engagement with socio-environmental issues is closely connected to citizens' EC [17]. ...
... One claim of this article is to include the group as a key category in citizenship and, thus, transcend the individual-collective dualism. Schild (2016) also advocates for the need for an expanded view on citizenship that goes beyond individual-level analysis and the personal duty and lifestyle approach. Wight (2006) points out that not only individuals have emergent properties. ...
... Coordination among multiple managers in management of wildlife, weed infestations, and fuels could shape species' population trajectories and reduce invasion and fire risk across a broad region (Sturtevant et al. 2005;Steinmetz et al. 2006;Austin et al. 2010;Epanchin-Niell et al. 2010;Bihari and Ryan 2012;Epanchin-Niell and Wilen 2015). This coordination can include communication about methodologies and conditions, cooperative use of resources, and collaborative decision-making (Jacobson and Robertson 2012;Crow et al. 2015;Guerrero et al. 2015;Kark et al. 2015;Bothwell 2019). All of these can help individual managers respond to changing and novel conditions to achieve landscape-scale objectives (Sisk et al. 2006;Fleishman 2009;Schmitz et al. 2015). ...
... Access to funding alone is not sufficient, however; social capacity is needed to apply for, develop, and implement proactive approaches within the scope of a given funding program (Harris et al., 2011;Labossière and McGee, 2017;Reid et al., 2018). Many communities require a "champion" who has the expertise, social license, and organizational relationships to successfully engage proactively in wildfire management (Koebele et al., 2015;Labossière and McGee, 2017;Paveglio et al., 2018). Understanding and addressing the unique social-political factors that can manifest as barriers to engagement is a priority for targeting efforts to ensure communities are adequately prepared for wildfire Paveglio et al., 2018). ...
