This project assesses the impact of trauma on the survivors
of police officers killed in the line-of-duty with an emphasis looking toward
post-traumatic growth. This approach looks toward opportunities inherent in
trauma to build new and improved life structures resulting in positive changes
in self-perception, interpersonal relationships, and life philosophies.

This project is an assessment of recreation investment needs
and opportunities in Oklahoma State Parks. It initiates a process that has
great value to the Oklahoma State Park managers with possible extension to
other recreation resource providers. Further, this assessment provides an
opportunity for the Department leadership and the Commission to base decisions
for future development on more accurate information from the primary recreation
users of Oklahoma State Park facilities. This project also provides the
opportunity for the public to have a representative voice in planning for the
public recreation estate as provided through the state land management agency
with the highest public profile.

Environmental and Policy Variables of Rural Recreational
Trails in Active Lifestyles
Are trails important in American culture? Recent legislative
history demonstrates the resounding importance of trails as one part of the
public recreation estate available for physical activity. Authorization of the
Federal Recreational Trails Program (RTP) demonstrates the economic and social
value placed on such facilities. The unique aspect of this project is the focus
on the relationships between recreational trails and physical activity in rural
settings. The project examined characteristics related to trail usage and user
appeal to identify areas of potential future and continued funding.
