Abstract
A statistical model of the number of visits to a surveyed woodland is developed and used to predict arrivals at a set of unsurveyed woodlands. Tests show that the model provides acceptable estimates of the actual number of arrivals. The model is then used to predict visitor numbers over a large area (the entirety of Wales) so as to produce a map of recreation demand for this area. Such a map is readily compatible with other analyses allowing a decision maker to identify optimal locations for the establishment of new woodlands.
