Abstract

It's my honor and pleasure to introduce you to Volume 1, Issue 1 of

the Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership

(JOREL)! As many of you may know, the JOREL is the only peerreviewed

journal published in the United States with a specific focus on

the areas of outdoor recreation, education, and leadership. It's taken

almost 10 years for the JOREL to finally make it to publication. What

started out as an idea in 2001 is finally here! It took the efforts and vision

of a number of individuals from the Association of Outdoor Recreation

and Education (AORE) Research and Publications Committee

over the years to make this publication possible. Individuals from the

Wilderness Education Association (WEA) joined the effort in 2007 and

ultimately, AORE, WEA, and the Western Kentucky University Research

Foundation created a partnership to make this project a reality. I would like to extend a well-deserved thank you to each of you for your foresight and commitment to this endeavor.
