Nearly all of the Vermonters who responded to the 2011 Outdoor Recreation Demand Survey participated in some type of outdoor recreation activity, from picnicking to hiking to snowmobiling. While Vermonters’ favorite activities are hiking, walking, hunting, fishing, and swimming, residents participate in a wide range of activities. There are 28 different outdoor recreation activities with participation rates greater than 10 percent. In addition to the positive public health outcomes of physically active lifestyles and the quality of life Vermonters associate with natural landscapes, outdoor recreation plays an important role in generating economic activity within the state, drawing in federal funds and attracting tourists from all over the world. The Outdoor Industry Foundation reported that in 2006 the outdoor recreation economy supported 35,000 jobs in Vermont, generated $187 million in annual state tax revenue, produced $2.5 billion annually in retail sales and services across Vermont, and accounted for 12 percent of the gross state product. Planning and investment is required to maintain current outdoor recreation facilities and resources and make new ones possible. To assist with outdoor recreation, land acquisition, development, and planning at the state level, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) statewide program offers grants to assist states that can, in turn, pass through grants to municipalities. To qualify for LWCF funds, states must revise the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) every five years. Maintaining a current SCORP ensures Vermont's eligibility to receive funding for municipal and state recreation and conservation projects from the LWCF. Since 1965, $31,669,336 of LWCF funding has been granted to Vermont. The purpose of the SCORP is to assess the supply, demand, quality, priorities and issues surrounding outdoor recreation in the state, and set forth a plan of action for achieving a desired vision for outdoor recreation. In 2011, three surveys were conducted to determine the supply of outdoor recreation facilities and resources throughout the state and demand for participation in the outdoor recreation activities that depend on those facilities and resources. This was accompanied by the collection of secondary data, as well as direct input from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources staff, recreation providers, and user groups. Based on this research and public input, the Action Plan was put together to articulate a vision for outdoor recreation in Vermont, and put forth a plan for achieving it. This Executive Summary shares the key findings and recommendations of the plan. For the complete findings, refer to the full document. Key Findings Outdoor Recreation Supply 7 Vermont has close to 850,000 acres of public lands open to recreation, and thousands of miles of trails on public and private lands that serve hikers, mountain bikers, snowmobilers, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders, and other trail users. Federal, state, municipal, and non-governmental organization (NGO) recreation providers manage parks, forests, wildlife areas, playing fields, boat launches, and dozens of other types of outdoor recreation facilities and resources. An inventory of these facilities and resources can be found in Chapter 2. Some of the biggest changes in the outdoor resources and facilities available to Vermonters in recent years include: Acquisition of 2,964 acres of land by the state in fee and acquisition of easement interest in 9,823 acres of land, from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012, is now available for public recreation. An increase in mountain bike trails, particularly trails managed by the Vermont Mountain Bike Association and Green Mountain National Forest. Investment of over $10 million for capital improvements in state parks to replace and update aging infrastructure and to add new facilities such as camping cabins, which have become very popular for state park visitors.

We made it work with our extraordinary staff, board members, and volunteers who are extremely talented, committed, and a lot of fun to work with. Thank you! While this is a time when we can take great pride in our accomplishments, it is not a time when we can rest, even for a minute…the needs in our communities are greater than ever and growing, and the Thomas Hark with children Eli (left), VYCC is an important part of the answer. Zachary (middle), and newborn Rosie (right). Our mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their own actions, what one says and does, is absolutely vital and essential to creating strong and healthy communities. It is these lessons learned in the Corps that will make the difference in the years and decades to come. While it is true that we operate state parks and do incredible trail and other natural resource work, and that this work all by itself makes the VYCC vital to Vermont, the true value of this organization is what individuals learn from their experiences, and then take with them and use the rest of their lives…it is the values of respect, hard work, and personal responsibility that become imbedded in an individual after a stint in the Corps. Many people think of the VYCC as that small group who built a local trail…though few realize over 350 Staff and Corps Members were enrolled in 2002 and completed over 80,000 hours of important conservation work on 800 distinct projects in every corner of Vermont.
