MINNESOTA OUTDOOR RECREATION TASK FORCE
The Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Task Force brings together a diverse set of outdoor recreation stakeholders and interests in Minnesota to build support for outdoor recreation across multiple sectors. The purpose of the task force is to consider (1) how to bring measured growth, increased and equitable access, and a higher quality of outdoor recreation opportunities to Minnesotans and visitors and (2) how to organize and implement this collaborative work going forward. The resulting product is a set of recommendations to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Explore Minnesota. The task force develops recommendations based on task force deliberations and input from the public.
