Oregon Outdoor Recreation -- Youth Survey

Thank you for participating in our survey of outdoor recreation in Oregon. By outdoor recreation, we mean all the activities that you do outside – things like soccer and other outdoor sports, skateboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, or just playing in a friend’s yard or at the playground.

The survey is voluntary – you do not need to do it. However, by carefully and accurately completing this survey you will help others provide the recreation opportunities you enjoy.
