The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting three public meetings in fall 2024 to accept comments from Washingtonians on a draft Outdoor Access and Responsible Recreation (OARR) Strategic Plan, to be released for public comment on October 21.
The OARR Strategic Plan is a statewide recreation plan that sets priorities for recreation management and outdoor access in Washington. It will guide decision-making for future management practices and ensure DNR-managed lands provide sustainable, diverse, and high-quality outdoor access and recreation opportunities that enrich the quality of life in Washington state, while conserving natural and cultural resources.
DNR has engaged with Washington’s Tribes, state-trust beneficiaries, recreation partners and other interested parties, and the public to collect input on the development of the OARR Strategic Plan over the course of the last year.
The meetings will provide an opportunity for members of the public to share input on the draft plan. Meeting dates and locations are below, and each meeting will cover the same topics.
- Lacey Community Center, 6729 Pacific Ave SE, Olympia, WA 98503
Interested parties must RSVP using the linked forms to ensure there is space for everyone to participate. Specific meeting details will be sent via email.
