I led an RFF research study in support of the ORRG; our expansive and detailed report and accompanying background studies are all still available on an RFF webpage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557663602212-BGUP0HLETRCGC9OOGPQW/NY_Bear_Mountain%252BSP_Fall_people%252Blooking%252Bat%252Bview.jpg Conservation, public lands, parks, and outdoor recreation Bear Mountain State Park, New York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557663295971-V6HFVJ4IIC9YGAFX7BDV/Zion%2BNP%252C%2BAngels%2BLanding%252C%2Bfree%2Bto%2Buse.jpg Conservation, public lands, parks, and outdoor recreation Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park, Utah https://www.margaretwalls.net/curriculum-vitae daily 0.75 2019-05-12 https://www.margaretwalls.net/hurricanes-flooding-climate-resilience daily 0.75 2021-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557665695737-Z8IJJAATPUS2BWE7BUFH/Dymer_Creek%2C_Chesapeake_Bay%2C+aerial_free+to+use.jpg Hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, climate resilience Dymer Creek and Chesapeake Bay, Virginia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557666669432-5Z3HX5WAH8F3GLL4KZ34/Aerial+view%2C+Hurricane+Harvey+flooding.JPG Hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, climate resilience Flooding in Houston from Hurricane Harvey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557666055321-Z6KSFLL6YBGXXEC8UL20/Chincoteague+NWR%2C+aerial+view+of+Sandy+storm+surge+damage_free+to+use+photo.jpg Hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, climate resilience Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia, after Hurricane Sandy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1557665051067-59QRRETB3YQGG7P2UUMX/alligator+in+SC.JPG Hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, climate resilience South Carolina wetlands https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/d181a486-7116-44aa-9a8e-402f39a5af24/Prescott_National_Forest_wildfire_on_June_30%2C_2008+photo.jpg Hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, climate resilience - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.margaretwalls.net/home daily 1.0 2021-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd710fdf8135a1b117ce3d4/1584477415556-C5CIBMO9ZSGYOVSBDXKI/Photo%2Bof%2Bme%2Band%2BWelly%2Bin%2Bbackyard.jpg Home I am an environmental economist and a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future, a nonprofit independent research institution in Washington, DC.
