SCORP Community Officials Survey

The National Park Service requires the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to complete a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan every five years to remain eligible for funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program. Since the program was established in 1965, more than $95,000,000 has been awarded to every county in the state for the acquisition of conservation or park land, development of new parks, or renovation of existing parks.

The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs requests your time to fill out this survey. It should take about 15 minutes to complete. It is critical for us to hear back from as many people as possible regarding conservation and recreation use and demand in your community to guide how future LWCF funding could be spent most effectively in Massachusetts.

Any questions should be directed to Melissa Cryan, LWCF Stateside Coordinator, at (617) 626-1171 or melissa.cryan@state.ma.us

 

Community Officials Survey (this is the survey for municipal employees, hopefully park and recreation directors, conservation agents, community planners, etc.)

Survey Available in Spanish

We’ve had the SCORP survey translated into Spanish, thanks to the help of committee member Rose Gonzalez.  If you could post the link to the Spanish encuesta to your newsletters, print articles, etc., we would very much appreciate it.  If you have any ideas as to other groups who would be helpful in distributing this survey, please let me know.  Thanks again for your help!
