Massachusetts will be creating an Office of Outdoor Recreation within the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretariat that will work to enhance outdoor recreational opportunities throughout the Commonwealth and support the associated economic, environmental, and quality of life benefits they bring.
Creation of the Office was identified in the 2019 Massachusetts Rural Policy Plan, that the FRCOG largely authored, to acknowledge, support and fund the benefits of outdoor recreation to rural communities and economies.
