Colorado
State Parks Accepting Public Comments
Colorado State Parks announced the release of the draft 2008 Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). This draft serves as the
principal guide for statewide outdoor recreation planning. The main
goal of the 2008-2012 SCORP is to identify outdoor recreation trends,
needs, and issues for Colorado, as well as to provide a strategic plan
to help address priority issues. The SCORP must also evaluate the
demand for and supply of outdoor recreation resources and facilities
statewide. The SCORP is also a requirement for eligibility for federal
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) appropriations.
Public comment on the SCORP is being accepted through July 28. Please
