The aim of this book is to construct a framework of understanding for those coming to the field of recreational land management from a non-land management discipline. It will also be helpful to those land managers (eg. farmers and foresters) who may need to adjust their outlook to accommodate recreational land management issues. The book establishes a context within which practitioners can develop and apply their management skills. The emphasis is more on what to think about than what to do, for example, to understand the importance and nature of good financial records than what transaction to record and how to record them.
