RecReady NH: New Hampshire's Outdoor Recreation Planning Guide

March 18 on Zoom

Outdoor recreation is increasingly recognized as a key driver of local economic growth, community well-being, and quality of life across New Hampshire. In response to growing demand for guidance and technical support, the New Hampshire Office of Outdoor Recreation Industry Development (ORID), in collaboration with the Division of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), developed RecReady NH—a first-of-its-kind outdoor recreation infrastructure planning guide tailored specifically for Granite State communities.

This session will provide a preview of the guide, which offers step-by-step, modular guidance for municipalities, towns, nonprofits, and conservation commissions planning, designing, and implementing outdoor recreation infrastructure. Presenters will demonstrate how the guide supports collaborative planning processes that integrate local priorities, environmental stewardship, and economic development goals. Participants will gain an overview of the guide’s practical tools, templates, and planning strategies, and learn how to apply them within their own communities. REGISTER HERE

We publish the Handbook for New Hampshire’s Municipal Conservation Commissions, and the NH Municipal Conservation Fund Guidebook. We keep our members up-to-date with monthly E-newsletter with a current list of training opportunities. We provide wetlands guidance documents and sample templates for policies and procedures.
