Outdoors: Americans
built 169 days ago
As Americans continue to spend more time outdoors, backyards have become havens, outfitted with furniture, decor and birding products that enhance the natural environment. The increase in outdoor activities such as birding, the fastest-growing wildlife-related hobby in the United States, encourages individuals, families and children to explore their own backyards. The National Geographic outdoor living and birding product line is designed to meet the needs of this growing pastime and was developed with the guidance of respected conservationists, ornithologists, researchers and everyday birding enthusiasts.

The objective, third-party survey, conducted by Greenfield Online to ensure accuracy, is the nation's most comprehensive study on what, where, when, why, and how Americans cook outdoors. All survey respondents were over age 21 and own a gas, charcoal or electric barbecue grill or smoker. Respondents were balanced demographically to represent households across the U.S.
