The Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland will be conducting "National Visitor Use Monitoring," a standardized survey process utilized by the Forest Service nation-wide to collect traffic and visitation data. Beginning October 1, 2022, and running through September 30, 2023, contracted employees will be conducting surveys in developed and dispersed recreation sites and along Forest Service roads throughout both Forests and Grassland. "National Visitor Use Monitoring" surveys happen every five years helping the Forest Service, tourism groups and recreation partners understand visitors' satisfaction with their visits and their economic impact to the local region. Survey data provides an estimate of how many people recreate on the National Forests and what activities they engage in while here. Survey sites are located in places that provide enough space for motorists to safely pull off the road or for recreationists to step off
