Data from 2014 Wilderness Management Survey: Science needs, training needs, and demographics of managers

Stewards and managers of wilderness areas within the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) were selected for surveying in 2014 in order to provide input for the development of the 2014 Inter-agency Strategic Plan for the NWPS. Research focused on major challenges in stewardship and planning, and where managers saw rising needs for specific training or research. Additionally, managers provided optional, follow-up data regarding the previous NWPS Strategic Plan, from 1995, and the degree to which its goals and values were enacted.The results of this study provide data on managers of wilderness areas and their ideas, concerns, and desires for future management planning. The purpose of that input is to further the development of the 2014 Inter-agency Strategic Plan for the NWPS.

2014年，为了为制定国家荒野保护区系统（NWPS）的2014年跨部门战略规划提供参考，选取了该系统内荒野区域的守护者和管理者进行调研。研究聚焦于守护与规划领域的主要挑战，以及管理者认为对特定培训或研究需求日益增长的区域。此外，管理者还提供了有关先前1995年NWPS战略规划的可选补充数据，以及该规划目标与价值观的实施程度。本研究的成果提供了关于荒野区域管理者及其对未来管理规划的看法、关切和愿望的数据。这些输入的目的是进一步推动2014年NWPS跨部门战略规划的发展。
