May 29, 2009 – The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
(DCNR) has announced 3 public meetings on June 1st, 2nd and 3rd where the
public, including OHV enthusiasts, can share ideas about improving recreation
opportunities throughout the state.  OHV enthusiasts are encouraged to attend
one or more of these sessions to support the sport.  ARRA would like to thank
the Pennsylvania OHV Association for alerting us to these meetings so we are
forwarding you their announcement.


Pennsylvania residents are invited to share their ideas on how to improve
outdoor recreation opportunities at three public meetings being held throughout
the state in June.

"Part of DCNR's mission to create healthy and livable communities includes
successfully serving the recreation needs of those who live, work and play in
them," Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Acting Secretary John
Quigley said. "We want the public to play a part in setting the priorities for
state recreation planning and funding for the next five years and beyond."

Pennsylvania produces a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)
every five years that provides citizens, policymakers and recreation
professionals with a snapshot of current trends and issues in outdoor
recreation. The plan helps set the agenda for state recreation policy, planning,
funding and implementation for the future.

The meetings will be held at the following locations from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00
p.m.:
• June 1, Four Points by Sheraton, Pittsburgh North, 910 Sheraton Drive, Mars
• June 2, Ramada Conference Center, 1450 S. Atherton St., State College
• June 3, DeSales University, University Center Gerald White Pavilion, 2755
State Ave., Center Valley
Over the past 18 months, DCNR has identified four major themes for its draft
recommendations in the plan:
• Align planning efforts to provide more integrated outdoor recreation
opportunities;
• Connect outdoor recreation and conservation to Pennsylvania's economy and the
health and quality of life of its residents;
• Reconnect people to the natural environment and develop an environmental
stewardship ethic in all segments of the population; and
• Develop a statewide trail network including addressing priority trail gaps.
Attendees will hear presentations from Penn State University faculty who have
conducted four statewide recreation surveys to provide the data on which the
plan recommendations are drawn.
The surveys include a statewide resident survey on recreation needs and
preferences; a targeted state park survey to identify recreation participation
trends and facility needs; a trail gap analysis sent to trail-user groups; and a
series of facilitated discussion sessions with minority youth and baby boomers
across Pennsylvania.

McClure at S/MARC at 717-920-1312 or administrator@....
