Join the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR) and the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC) to develop Vermont’s Outdoor Recreation vision and priorities!
Starting in fall 2023, we will collect input from public and private recreation providers, land managers, Vermonters, recreation user groups, and other stakeholders in Vermont’s outdoor recreation economy.
With this input, we will create a shared vision for Vermont's outdoor recreation future, and a set of priorities and action steps for the next five years. FPR, VOREC and our partners will use these outcomes to guide and support decisions about where to focus energy and resources across the outdoor recreation landscape.
The process will also culminate in an updated Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and lay the foundation for the next VOREC Action Plan .
UPDATE: Draft Vision and Priorities
