Abstract: In France, the legitimacy of public policy is set in a context of decreasing support for public institutions. As a consequence, policy makers increasingly rely upon the concept of civil society in their political actions. This is the case for the creation of sport policy on contentious issues, such as the use of outdoor recreation sites. This study investigated the origins and operationalization of the policy for consultation regarding the case of outdoor activities. The study observed the intentions of policy-makers and the effects of political choices. To do so required studying the effects of the consultation process and the participation of delegates in the development of tools for resolution of conflicts over use of natural spaces for the purpose of sport. This paper presents a case for conducting participative and co-constructed management of sport and nature, with positive effects supporting this method of public management.
