Especially considering rapidly developing regions like Intermountain West, which retains some of nation's most ecologically recreationally important resources, finding long‐term solutions aimed at sustainable outdoor recreation visitor‐use behaviours assist in natural area conservation. Multiple‐use national forests have received less attention opposed areas. In this work, I highlight how various recreational activities (e.g., shoreline hiking, boating, angling) influence integrity ecosystems. cover influences Forest Service's Regions 1 4. Namely, West National System, management aligns with multiple uses including timber extraction, water resource conservation, grazing, mineral usage, retention biological diversity through habitat protection opportunities. contend that region's planning initiatives must consider growing reliant on might induce ecosystem changes.
