A staff report
The Elizabethtown-White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is calling on all North Carolina residents to help shape the future of outdoor recreation in the state. The North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation is currently crafting the 2025-2030 Outdoor Recreation Plan, and your insights could play a crucial role in where grant funding is directed over the next several years.
Why Your Voice Matters
Whether you’re an avid outdoor enthusiast or someone who has never set foot in a state park, your perspective is valuable. The state seeks to understand not only what works but also what barriers may prevent people from enjoying North Carolina’s abundant outdoor spaces. This survey aims to capture a broad range of experiences, preferences, and challenges to ensure future investments align with the needs of all residents.
How to Participate
A Public Opinion Survey is open through October 30, 2024. It only takes a few minutes and is hosted on Survey Monkey, making it easy to share your input on what you believe is essential for outdoor recreation in North Carolina. Your feedback could impact the development of new facilities, accessibility improvements, and the types of programs funded over the next several years.
Share the Word
After completing the survey, residents are encouraged to share it on social media or tell friends, family, and colleagues about the opportunity. The goal is to gather as many perspectives as possible to create a recreation plan that truly reflects the needs and desires of North Carolinians.
Don’t miss this chance to have a voice in your state’s outdoor future! The survey link can be accessed through the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation’s website at 2025-2030 NC Outdoor Recreation Plan.
