The Visitation Estimation Workbook is intended for Service employees charged with estimating and reporting visitor numbers on refuges and wetland management districts. There are two ways to use the Workbook: to design an appropriate plan for estimating and reporting visitor numbers and to identify the best methods currently available to implement that plan. Chapter 1 discusses basic estimation concepts and briefly describes seven standard methods for collecting data. Chapter 2 walks you through the steps in developing an estimation plan for refuges that are primarily accessible by road. Chapter 3 shows you how to plan for visitation estimation on refuges that are remote or are not primarily reached by road. Appendices A and B contain useful reference information and tools to help you in the planning and estimation process.
