The Outdoor Foundation recently released the 2008 Outdoor Recreation Participation Report. The report surveyed Americans ages six and older and covered 114 outdoor activities, making it the largest survey of its kind.
The report found that overall participation in outdoor activities among Americans increased in 2007 with more than 138.4 million people getting outdoors. This positive trend however is overshadowed by the alarming news that outdoor participation for children between the ages of six and seventeen declined by more than 11 percent, with the greatest declines occurring between the ages of six and twelve.
Check out the entire report at the Outdoor Foundation.
