The survey has been conducted since the 1970s to assess the popularity and needs for outdoor recreation facilities across the commonwealth. This year, the Department of Conservation and Recreation opened the survey to the general public.
Some of what you should know:
- Outdoor recreation includes a wide variety of things people do outside, whether on public or private property, including simple things like walking for pleasure, using a playground, or going for a swim. DCR is interested in your visits to historic sites, campgrounds, and other open spaces.
- Your answers are completely confidential.
- Only those 18 or older can complete the survey. And only one response per household, please.
- The survey should take about 20 minutes to complete, depending on the length of your responses.
