![Teton Crest Trail][1] [1]: https://files.osf.io/v1/resources/atdkx/providers/osfstorage/60633ab5229503025f6f16ca?mode=render Participation Requested: Trail Use & Stewardship Survey - University of Maryland You are invited to participate in a research study on trail use and trail building practices as they relate to stewardship ideology, sense of place, and community identity. We are reaching out to communities and individuals with an interest in trails. We define trail building as including both paid and volunteer activities related to constructing new trails or maintaining existing trails. Your participation will help us develop a more participatory and nuanced understanding of trails and trail work in the United States and elsewhere. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you may stop the survey at any time. Participation involves completing a 15 minute long survey. There are no known risks or benefits associated with participating in this study. Participation is anonymous and individual responses will be kept anonymous. The survey is open to all adults living or working in the United States. Please share with your networks and others who you think would be interested in taking this survey. The survey will remain open, but we are hoping to gather the bulk of responses by July 30th, 2022. If you would like to be contacted about participating in a follow up interview you may optionally provide contact information which will be stored separately from your responses to the survey. Questions and contact information: If you have any questions about this study, please contact Dr. Madeline Brown (mtbrown@umd.edu) or Nic Galloway (ngallowa@umd.edu) at the University of Maryland, College Park.
