The Georgia State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan has been drafted. This document provides a 5- year blueprint for state policies and funding, including spending priorities for Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The draft Plan tells of survey respondents who want more "programming" at parks and nature areas and identifies outdoor education as one of the top reasons respondents visit parks, but does not prioritize outdoor learning and environmental education in the proposed goals and strategies. Encourage the State to include environmental education and outdoor learning as essential components of outdoor recreation before adopting the Plan.
