The plan includes specific priorities and actions to meet the outdoor recreation needs of Washington residents.
The state recreation and conservation plan also includes specific recreation plans for athletic facilities and trails as well as plans to administer the board’s grants for boating and non-highway and off-road vehicle activities.
