A method for identification and evaluation of land for recreation potential
A Land Evaluation and Site Assessment system for Recreation (LESAR) was developed to provide those who wish to preserve lands suitable for recreational use with a quantifiable tool by which to do so. The framework of this system is patterned after the Soil Conservation Service's Land Evaluation and …
