DNR Seeking Public Comment On The Draft Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
Written Comments Accepted Through Dec. 15
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking public input on the draft Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP).
The SCORP describes the supply and demand for outdoor recreation in Wisconsin. The draft Wisconsin SCORP includes an analysis of the motivations for recreating and the barriers Wisconsin residents may experience preventing them from participating in outdoor recreation.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund was enacted by Congress in 1965 “to strength the health and vitality of the United States” through the acquisition and development of outdoor recreation resources and facilities. States are allocated funds as matching (50%) grants for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation sites and facilities.
The public is encouraged to submit comments using the online public input form on the DNR’s Wisconsin Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan webpage. Comments may also be sent via U.S. mail, phone or email. Submit comments by Dec. 15, 2024 to:
