OSTI ID:5069032
Contingent valuation (CV) methodology was used to estimate the public willingness to pay (WTP) for the purchase of wetlands having different functional characteristics to be added to a South Carolina wetland preserve, the Francis Beidler Forest. The dichotomous choice version of the model was used to elicit the WTP of a statewide sample of 3,600 randomly selected households. Each was presented with a dollar amount and asked if they were willing to pay that amount as a one-time contribution to the Audubon Society to assist in the purchase of 2,500 acres of wetland to be added to the Beidler Forest. Three types of adjacent wetlands which could be purchased were described: (1) frequently flooded bottomland typified by cypress-tupelo swamp; (2) infrequently flooded bottomland hardwood forest; and (3) nonbottomland pine plantation with hardwood runners.
