Dear [visitor name],

During the summer of 2014, you were contacted while visiting the St. Anthony Sand Dunes and provided your contact information. We are following up now with an opportunity for you to provide your feedback and opinions concerning the area’s management and your experiences while visiting the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary, but your involvement is greatly encouraged in order to get a complete picture of our visitors’ opinions. This is your chance to have your comments and concerns heard by management and to help inform the future management of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.

Your individual responses will be anonymous. We ask that only the person to whom the survey is addressed answer the following questions. The survey number is for office use only; no record of names corresponding to those numbers will be kept once the survey is received.

If you wish, you may complete the survey online at:  https://uidaho.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a4dlglHutfC7x5j​. Only one survey is to be completed per person, so please discard this hard copy if you decide to complete the survey online. If you complete the paper copy, please mail it back in the enclosed envelope. No postage is necessary if mailed in the United States.

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to help shape the future of this wonderful and unique area. If you have any questions about the survey or management of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, please contact the BLM’s Upper Snake Field at 208-524-7500.

Sincerely,
