Public Survey Now Open for Pennsylvania Recreation Plan
May 2, 2024

Every five years, Pennsylvania is required to produce a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan to be eligible for grant funding from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. The plan outlines goals for investment and programs in conservation and outdoor recreation to benefit all Pennsylvanians.

DCNR is in the planning process for the 2025-2029 recreation plan and wants to hear from as many Pennsylvanians as possible. Please consider taking this 10-minute survey to share your favorite activities and views on outdoor recreation in Pennsylvania.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish and will be accepting responses through May 22.
