In 1970, the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation completed a long awaited study of outdoor recreation resources in the United States, entitled “The Recreation Imperative.” The ambitious document laid out a new direction for conservation, calling for an infusion of some $6 billion, with the majority of funds going to cities – a major change from previous allocation patterns.
