Abstract Some evidence suggests a connection between outdoor recreation participation and
stronger environmental worldviews. This study finds little evidence supporting
participation in outdoor recreation activities and stronger environmental worldviews and
some evidence supporting a weak connection between appreciative outdoor recreation
and stronger environmental worldviews. Additionally, the study documents greater
participation in outdoor recreation amongst rural residents compared to urban residents
and significantly different activity type preference. The study develops two more robust
measures, one for surveying the total amount of outdoor recreation individuals
participating in and another to develop a lifetime measure of size of place.
