<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">DEM Division of Planning & Development is seeking public input on outdoor recreation across our state to help to inform the Rhode Island Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). Feedback will help us create better outdoor
opportunities for all Rhode Islanders and visitors, and will be used to help prioritize funding for future outdoor recreation projects.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you wouldn’t mind taking a few moments to use our new interactive survey map, it would be very helpful! You can put a pin on the map to tell us about a recreational resource that is working well, something that needs improvement, or
something that is missing (think hiking trails, parks, paddling opportunities, hunting, etc).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Go to <b>dem.ri.gov/outdoorsurvey – </b>your participation will help grow Rhode Island’s outdoor recreational network.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are having trouble using the map or have any questions or other feedback, let me know!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, we are also hosting a series of Roundtable Discussions on specific outdoor recreation topics around the state – please consider attending any of these that you can:<o:p></o:p></p>
