Athens, Ga. (January 15, 2008) - The Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2008-2013 is now available from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The plan outlines major trends, priorities and critical elements for success for providing outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations of all Georgians.

The University of Georgia’s Fanning Institute worked with the Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to develop the plan, identifying the current condition of outdoor recreation in Georgia and making key recommendations on what needs to be done to meet future demand. Fanning faculty served as project managers for the planning effort, designed and facilitated the public participation program and managed the writing, layout and production of the final plan document. Leigh Askew, Danny Bivins, Jan Coyne, and Langford D. Holbrook made up the Fanning team, and collaborated with other key UGA planning partners: the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, the Institute of Ecology, the Warnell School of Forestry and the Center for Community Design and Preservation.To learn more about SCORP 2008-2013 or to download the report, visit http://gastateparks.org/net/content/go.aspx?s=132975.0.1.5
