recently? Whether you camped, hiked, biked, boated, or got up to something else, we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BC Parks is committed to protecting and managing the province\u2019s diverse wilderness for future generations, and providing high-quality, safe, outdoor recreation opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to better understand the experiences of residents and visitors who use parks across the province. Through this survey, we hope to learn more about who is visiting parks, what activities they enjoy while visiting, what they like about parks, and where there is room for improvement. This information will be used to support future decision-making, training, and funding for facilities, trails, and other initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants from all park types (front country, backcountry, marine, and day use) are encouraged to share their perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Main photo credit: Iain Robert Reid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contribution\">How your contribution makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Public feedback plays a key role in shaping the future of BC Parks.
