The Nevada Divisions of Outdoor Recreation and State Parks announce the release of a public survey on outdoor recreation in Nevada
Feb 22, 2021
The survey is part of the federally required Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), which is updated every five years. This plan establishes criteria for funding outdoor recreation projects in Nevada, through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program, and guides outdoor recreation development over the next five years. Public input is critical for creating a comprehensive plan that addresses the outdoor recreation needs of all Nevadans.
Outdoor enthusiasts of all types are encouraged to participate in a brief 10-15 minute survey that will gauge the public’s usage, demand and preferences for various types of outdoor recreation activities. The scope of the public survey includes ALL outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Nevada. The information collected will be used to help the state and local communities establish priorities related to the acquisition and development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities in Nevada.
The public outdoor recreation survey is available online until March 31, 2021 at http://parks.nv.gov/. For questions or comments regarding the SCORP or the survey, please email scorp@dcnr.nv.gov

This week, the Biden Administration officially designated Avi Kwa Ame a national monument!
Read our full statement commending the move here: http://nvobc.org/press-releases/nevada-outdoor-business-coalition-applauds-designation-of-avi-kwa-ame-national-monument/
Yesterday, news broke of President Joe Biden’s plans to sign a proclamation designating the territory of Avi Kwa Ame in Southern Nevada as a new national monument, answering the call from Tribal leaders, conservationists, outdoor recreationalists, and local monument supporters to protect the landscape.
In response, we issued the following statement in support of this news. “We’re looking forward to President Biden designating Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in the state of Nevada. As a coalition of entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders of the outdoor recreation industry in Nevada, we have been proud to support the grassroots campaign to designate Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument. Over 100 Nevada businesses signed our letter supporting the designation, and we highly anticipate seeing this National Monument go from mere proposal to reality."
