Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2009-2014 (SCORP) Meetings
Alaska State parks will host the following community meetings to update the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). This plan provides communities and agencies information about Alaskan’s outdoor recreation preferences. It also keeps Alaska eligible for federal Land and Water Conservation grant funds for outdoor recreation projects.

Please come tell us your thoughts on outdoor recreation, access and facilities – what you like and how local outdoor recreation opportunities can be improved.

Monday, March 9, 2009, 6 pm. Held in Anchorage at the Atwood Building, 550 W 7th Ave., Suite 602.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009, 7pm. Sports Complex, Room 1 – Mack Road, North out of Wasilla.

Thursday March 12, 2009 , 5:30 pm Kenai River Center in Soldotna.

For more information, the Alaska State Park web site contains a link to the last published SCORP http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/plans/scorp/2004scorpweb.pdf

There are two new surveys that can be filled out online at www.alaskastateparks.org.;one for recreation managers and one for recreation users.

True, true. Its nice to see its a statewide plan yet the only meetings are in the southcentral area. How many people up here are going to be willing to drive 6 hours to one of these. Not me.

Yeah I noticed that also and am hoping that it can be brought up in the forums, in hope of allowing at least the folks in the Fairbanks area an opportunity to show their support in an open public forum. I am also hopeful that everyone who has an interest and knows of the online questionnaire passes the link via email to all their outdoor enthusiasts, mentioning the lack of public testimony in your area on this couldn't hurt.
