A Financial Analysis of Big Meadow Creek Recreation Area Management Alternatives Item Info

The Big Meadow Creek Recreation Area is a 200 acre developed rural picnic area. Located in a partially forested area typical of the transition zone between mountainous forested regions and the Palouse hill country of Idaho, it affords excellent recreational esthetic attractiveness at the local level. The acreage is a scarce dual-purpose resource exhibiting educational as well as recreational benefits. The problem being faced is what should be done to or with this deteriorating site to make it a more economically viable enterprise. Special consideration is needed in the solution as regards the University's efforts in teaching, research, and public service, all of which are conducted at this site. Alternative opportunities in either education and/or outdoor recreation require that choices be made. Management decisions bused upon rather explicit analysis of costs and benefits are likely to result in better choices and therefore a benefit-cost analysis of management alternatives was conducted.
