The average fuel wood collector is willing to pay, beyond current perceived costs, an additional $21 to $29 per cord in order to continue collecting fuel wood. The difference between willingness-to-pay estimates for fuel wood collection and for wood purchased from a commercial vendor is assumed to present recreational value of fuel wood collection. On this basis, the recreation value for the average collection is estimated to be between $6 and $12 per cord.
