Thank you for participating in this pilot survey. Your help is greatly appreciated and will help design questions for future research and park management. Please read the following information before you begin.

My name is Simon Wegner and I am conducting research into how park and wilderness visitors respond to invasive species and invasive species management efforts. Before I can begin, I need to design questions and scales that will accurately represent how people relate to parks and the activities they enjoy. This survey is intended to test question phrasing and select which questions will be used in the final scale, so some of the questions are quite similar. Please read each question carefully. Space will be provided at various points in the survey for you to give feedback about question design or offer suggestions about points the survey may not have covered.Please answer the survey if you are 16 years old or older and have visited a park or wilderness area for recreation within the past three years. Depending on how much feedback you provide, the questionnaire should take between 10 and 20 minutes.Consent and PrivacyYour participation is entirely voluntary.
