2003 - 2007 New Jersey Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan

The New Jersey Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is prepared every five years by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Green Acres Program to provide statewide policy direction on open space and recreation issues. The preparation of the SCORP also maintains New Jersey's eligibility to receive funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, administered by the National Park Service. The SCORP serves as a status report, strategic plan and guide for natural and recreational resource protection and planning. This is the 2003 to 2007 report.Prepared with help from: Dorina Frizzera: Coastal Planning; Susan Lockwood: Land Use Regulation; Larry Miller: Division of Parks and Forestry; Laurie Pettigrew: Division of Fish and Wildlife; Michele Stelle: Division of Parks and Forestry; Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions; Delaware and Raritan Greenway; Monmouth County Park System; New Jersey Conservation Foundation; New York/New Jersey Baykeeper; Somerset County Park Commission; The Highlands Coalition; The Trust for Public Lan
