This report provides a descriptive analysis of forest values, attitudes toward forest management, knowledge of basic forest-related facts, and socioeconomic characteristics of two stakeholder groups of the Foothills Model Forest in Alberta: campers and hunters. Data were collected by mail surveys in 1997. Results show that campers and hunters were more bio-centered than human-centered in their forest value orientations. A minority of respondents agreed with attitude statements that reflect successful sustainable forest management in Alberta, a minority agreed with most economic development and timber-oriented forest management objectives, and a majority agreed with most protection-oriented management strategies. A cluster analysis, based on forest values, identified three segments: Bio-centered, Human-centered, and Moderates. The Bio-centered Group differed from the others on socioeconomic characteristics and management preferences. Generally campers and hunters were found to support a holistic approach to natural resource management that considers multiple values, suggesting that a sustainable forest management philosophy is consistent with these stakeholders' values and preferences.
