When information is not avail able here, the person inquiring is referred elsewhere, such as the Wisconsin Conservation Department in Madison.

The 1962 total showed an increase of per I over the 79.039,800 recorded in 1961. National Park Service Direc- i tor Conrad L. Wirth attributed the new record to the increasing popularity of outdoor recreation and the Mission 66. a long- range conservation and improvement program. The report lists 30 parks and 162 related areas under NPS ad I ministration.

The total did not include eight small areas where no count is taken. Nor did it include a ninth national Capital metropolitan i park system comprising approximately 785 urban and rural parks located in and around Washington, DC. This unit counted 8,587,700 visitors in 1962. an increase of 964,300 over the 7,623,400 visits recorded in 1961. Since 1916, when the National Park Service was established, more than one billion persons visited the National Park System.

Wirth said while it took 58 years to reach the one billion total, it is estimated that the second billion will be achieved in IO years. Rendel B. Alldredge, chief statistician for service, forecasts that the total park visits for 1965 will exceed 90 million not including the National Capital Parks. Travel to Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa, during the first two months of 1963 totaled 1.184 visits compared to 208 for the same period in 1962.
