Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative
Vermont became the first in the East to create an Office of Outdoor Recreation in 2017 when Governor Scott signed Executive Order #11-17 establishing the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC). The VOREC steering committee is made up of Vermont businesses and non-profits including outdoor manufacturers, retailers, brand representatives, trail and user groups and conservation organizations, as well as state government.
