Title	Visitor attitudes toward wilderness fire management policy--1971-84
Creator	McCool, Stephen F.
Contributor	Stankey, George H. ; <br>Intermountain Research Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Visitors to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, MT, were asked about their knowledge of fire effects and attitudes toward fire management in wilderness settings. In comparison to a similar 1971 study, visitors were more knowledgeable about fire effects and more supportive of fire management rather than fire suppression. About half the visitors felt that manager-ignited fires would be beneficial to wilderness, about 16 percent felt these fires would be detrimental, and about one-third were unsure.
Publisher	Ogden, UT : U.S. Dept. of Africulture, Forest Service, Intermountain Research Station, 1985.
