AUGUSTA — The Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands is asking the public to review the draft 2020-24 Maine State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.
The plan, SCORP, qualifies Maine to receive federal Land and Water Conservation money and satisfies state legislative requirements associated with monitoring trends in outdoor recreation.
The draft plan is available at www.maine.gov/dacf/scorp and public review and comments will continue through Nov. 22. Comments should be directed to Rex Turner, outdoor recreation planner, Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, 22 State House Station, 207-287-4920, Rex.Turner@maine.gov.
Maine’s SCORP identifies the demand for and supply of outdoor recreation areas and facilities based on available information and discusses outdoor recreation issues of statewide importance based on public input. The plan’s implementation program suggests broad priorities for expenditure of LWCF dollars in Maine. Additionally, it serves as source material assisting those looking to better understand outdoor recreation needs in Maine and how to align projects with those needs.
The 2020-24 plan effort has included survey responses from thousands of Mainers in addition to background research and the contributions of a steering committee representing diverse perspectives and sectors.
