Summary
The Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) process was established in the 1960s as a tool to guide the development and management of outdoor recreation resources by state to receive funding under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act. States must update their SCORP every five years. This allows states, tribes, and local governments, to apply for and receive LWCF matching grant funding for the acquisition and development of public parks and other outdoor recreation sites.
Overview
Over the years, some SCORPs have evolved to include a greater focus on public participation, stewardship, and equitable access to outdoor recreation opportunities.
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals (SORP) helps SCORP planners and consultants stay up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices in the field. Together, SCORP and SORP play an important role in enhancing access to the outdoors for each state's residents and visitors.
