RECREATION ROADMAP HIGHLIGHTS IMPORT OF
POST DISASTER
RECOVERY EFFORTS
PWORA commends the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) for its outstanding work on behalf of recreation businesses, users, and other
stakeholders. ORR is comprised of 32 national trade
associations that represent non-motorized/motorized recreation and natural
resource management interests. The motorized ORR
members include representatives from OHV, OSV, and 4WD.
In the recent ORR publication entitled: A ROADMAP FOR A
21ST CENTURY OUTDOOR RECREATION ECONOMY, they highlight a number of their key strategies
and success stories as they work to build support for sustainable recreation
with decision-makers in Washington D.C and in state capitols throughout the
country.

PWORA appreciates that ORR has included post natural
disaster recovery of recreation facilities as an important part of recreation
management efforts as cited below in the ROADMAP.
SOUND CONSERVATION POLICIES SUSTAIN RESILIENT RECREATION
LANDSCAPES
Recreation access to our lands and waters must be
balanced by ensuring resource protection and sustainable outdoor experiences
for generations to come.
OUR PRIORITIES:
1. Creating a plan to mitigate climate change impacts on
recreation assets and gateway
communities that rely on robust outdoor recreation, and
supporting quick recovery
and restoration of these assets after a natural disaster.
2. Investing in natural solutions that allow for
recreation while providing buffers during
severe storms.
PWORA encourages recreation groups and land managers to
review the ORR ROADMAP as it contains a number of their significant accomplishments
on behalf of recreation interests and the economy.
