This report provides information on the level and distribution of participation in outdoor recreation in forested ecoprovinces in Canada. An ecoprovince is a spatial unit defined within the National Ecological Framework. Particular ecoprovinces were designated as forested if over 30% of the total area had been inventoried and over 20% of the inventoried area was covered by forest. The report is based on original data from the National Survey on the Importance of Nature to Canadians, 1996. The data used in the report encompass total number of user-days and user-days per capita at destination ecoprovinces.
