Public lands planning

RSG’s nationally recognized work in public lands planning and management supports decisions around how to reconcile tensions that often exist between accommodating public demand for outdoor recreation on public lands and protecting the natural and cultural resources of these areas and the quality of visitors’ experiences. 

We apply analytical rigor and industry expertise to help clients address nationally significant issues, including: 

• visitor use analysis 
• visitor use measurement and modeling  
• transportation visitor experience survey research 
• alternative transportation management
• policy development 

We work closely with public lands agency officials and their stakeholders to translate project results into meaningful strategies for on-the-ground management and planning.
