Survey Information
SCORP 2022 Survey
The National Park Service requires the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to complete a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 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 $100,000,000 has been awarded statewide to projects in every county in the state for the acquisition of conservation and park land, development of new parks, or renovation of existing parks.
As a part of the SCORP update, the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs is asking for opinions on outdoor recreation and open space from all users of Massachusetts’ outdoor recreational facilities. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. It is critical for us to hear from as many residents as possible to know how to best distribute LWCF funding over the next five years.

Caring for our Environment
Taking care of our environment is a must for all. It affects everyone especially the elderly and children.
Having clean air, water and soil is paramount not only for humans, but also for wildlife.
Clearing forests removes the natural habitat for the wildlife as well as removing air cleaning trees and vegetation. Saving slate conservation area which is 57.46 acres of forest will continue to give wildlife their natural habitat and to ensure everyone has clean air.
