SMGA Survey: Getting Some Answers

There’s another survey going round, and it’s meant to answer some questions.  Who’s using the natural areas? What are they doing? What do they think about the benefits of having multiple greenspaces to use and enjoy?

Thomas White (r.) obtains survey answers from two trail users.

The survey was designed by Thomas White, an Applied Sociology Intern attending Texas State University in San Marcos.  The 10-question survey attempts to learn more about who is using the trails and how often they visit.

This first weekend Thomas worked at Ringtail Ridge and Purgatory Creek — Hunter Road trailhead meeting park visitors.

One, somewhat surprising fact is that a lot of people from neighboring cities are using the trails because they don’t have such a benefit.  They are also dining and shopping here while in town.  The survey is open into November.  It is also available on-line at www.surveymonkey.com/s/6CF8WKJ
