Governor’s Office:
“Today Governor McAuliffe and First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe
announced that the Virginia Outdoors Plan, Virginia’s official guide for the
planning of public outdoor recreation and land conservation has been revised
and is now available online. The plan, which is updated every five years, is a
product of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and
highlights the beautiful natural resources and historical attractions Virginia
has to offer.
‘Virginia’s parks, natural areas, historic sites and scenic
views help define the Commonwealth as a great place to live, work and raise a
family, and they play a critical role in supporting Virginia’s second largest
industry: tourism.’ Gov. Terry McAuliffe said. ‘The Virginia Outdoors Plan is
our five-year guide for protecting and enhancing our natural resources and
outdoor recreational assets and this updated plan will help keep our economy
growing and our communities thriving.’
This is the 10th plan to be produced since the 1965
publication of ‘Virginia’s Common Wealth,’ the first comprehensive study of
Virginia’s outdoor recreation facilities and resources. It is the first to be
completely paperless, and its publication marks the debut of VOP Mapper, a
user-friendly online tool for mapping outdoor recreation resources and conserved
lands.”
