      abstract = {Past empirical benefit measures and other information  originally obtained through primary data collection can be  used for assessing and analyzing current management and  policy actions. This use of past valuation information for  current policy analysis is called benefit transfer. In this  report, we present information from our database of 1239  consumer surplus estimates usable for benefit transfer that  we created from our extensive literature review. The  outdoor recreation use value database spans from 1967  through 2003 with activities ranging from birdwatching and  picnicking to rock climbing and snorkeling. A park manager  or other planner could easily use the information from our  database to estimate consumer surplus values for a park,  region, or activity, separately, or in combination. For  instance, consumer surplus per person per day for wildlife  viewing is US$35.30. However, if you are interested in a  specific area, such as Alaska, you would find that the  consumer surplus for wildlife viewing is US$41.11. Here, we  see that the wildlife value in Alaska is higher than the  overall average of wildlife viewing, which may be due to  the fact that many people go to Alaska to see the big five:  wolves, brown bears, dall sheep, caribou, and moose.  Databases such as these provide a vast amount of valuable  information and can easily be used by a wide range of  audiences, from academics to land managers to politicians.},
