Specific focus was given to attitudes toward prescribed burns as a management practice. A total of 1,690 (21%) completed questionnaires were received. Although the overall response rate was low, the original sample reflected an over-sampling of the 9 counties. The final response was within the 95% confidence interval for a bivariate response given the population of the region. The results of the survey are the basis of this report. | | | Date Created: | 09 24 2002 | | | Agency ID: | Report SR-02-02 | | | ISL ID: | 000000003460 Original UID: 3326 FIRST WORD: Attitudes | |
