National Kids Survey

All three National Kids Survey Reports have been updated and are on the Internet Research Information Series website at http://warnell.forestry.uga.edu/nrrt/nsre/IRISRec/IRISRec9rpt.pdf
The intention of the study, which was launched in 2007, was and is to build a national baseline of data about kid’s time and activities outdoors so researchers could take a more
rigorous look at trends. As we all know, without a baseline, one cannot measure change, i.e., trends. The study was conducted by USDA Forest Service’s Southern Research Station and
its Forestry Sciences Laboratory in Athens, Georgia; the University of Georgia in Athens; and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee. The authors are H. Ken Cordell, Carter J. Betz, and Gary T. Green.
