摘要
Widespread global grassland de-struction motivates restoration efforts. How-ever, little research on public preferences exists to inform restoration decisions, and reduced exposure to nature such as grass-lands could diminish public willingness to pay (WTP) for it. We conducted a choice exper-iment to estimate preferences over tallgrass prairie grassland restorations and quantify how those preferences are correlated with childhood experiences. We find that WTP for grassland restoration can be large, especially with recreational opportunities. Further, peo-ple who participated in outdoor activities or grew up near grasslands during their child-hood place a higher value on grassland res-toration than people who did not.
