SURVEY INTRODUCTION 

Good day. My name is Barbara Freidt; I am
currently working on my thesis at Old Dominion University. Because I am
very passionate about both hiking and the AT, I decided to research the
user motivations, benefits, and trail preferences of day, overnight, section, thru and multi-use hikers
in order to gather information useful to AT maintaining clubs and the
Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC). Currently, little academic
research on these topics exists. Ten trail clubs have already
participated in the study and five more have agreed to do so at a later
date. I am posting the link to the survey on whiteblaze because I
would like to ensure that both the voices of hikers who are not trail
club members and the voices of thru-hikers are represented in the
results of the study. Information gathered will be shared with AT
maintaining clubs and the ATC with the hope that it will be useful in
both better understanding current AT users as well as in acquiring
funding for continued maintenance of the AT footpath and preservation
and protection of its surrounding corridor lands. The survey only takes about 10-15 minutes and requires no contact information. If you would be interested in participating in this study, please click on the link. The link for the survey is: https://periwinkle.ts.odu.edu/surveys/PWXZAR/
