Show BYU Outdoor recreation specialists forecast that 4 billion visits to the nation's public recreation lands by the year 2000. This figures at three people to each one visiting such areas last year. Applying this projection here at home one can readily see more effort expended and the longer trips required if any amount of solitude and elbow room is the wish of our recreation traveler. The forecast includes recreation from playgrounds to parks, from golfing to game hunting, and obviously the greatest crowding will come to the public facilities nearest our centers of population. As it relates to the recreational pursuits of fishing and hunting we visualize several things on the plus side. As the elbow room reaches a premium (and some think it has already) at nearby waters like Strawberry the seeking for solitude will move many to make the effort required to get Into our mountain backcountry where people are still seen with little frequency. Our greatest boon rests on the fact that most of our public lands, both state and federal, are found in the western section of our country. If these continue in public trust then future recreation opportunities will be bright. Add the rapid progress in management of our agencies in charge of these lands and the natural resources and our outdoor future seems well established. YOUR scribbler is often asked what one might do to assist in the state wildlife management program. Our first suggestion has always been to join your local sportsman group where programs are continually under way to do just this very thing. These local clubs are affiliated with the parent body of sportsmen, namely the Utah Wildlife Federation, which in turn forms the civilian front and strong right arm of the state fish and game division. This strong arm becomes particularly important during legislative years like the one upcoming when the Federation sponsors needed fish and game bills. Anytime, but especially now, is a good time to join up if one it; serious about wishing to contribute greatly to good fish and game management. Another opportunity comes annually to those who receive one or more of the annual census cards mailed to a random selection of those who buy fishing andor hunting licenses. The little time it takes to fill in one of these self addressed stamped cards pays big dividends in future fishing and hunting.
