These values are very consistent across the two forest areas (Mount Lofty and Mid North), suggesting that the same value estimate could be applied to any forest area in South Australia.

Notes on this study

These estimates are for the value of a recreational trip across the whole sample. It includes the zero values associated with the ‘non-visitors’ and also includes trips were there may have been a number of people in the group. It is not an estimate of an individual trip value. It is reasonable to assume that in the majority of cases, the information provided by respondents in the survey about the number of people included in a trip to the forests related to their immediate household.
