Learn about and comment on proposed future priorities of PA State Parks during a public meeting at Jennings Environmental Education Center on Wednesday, November 20 at 6 pm.  The proposed recommendations in the Penn's Parks for All Preliminary Report, stemming from extensive public input, will be reviewed, questions may be asked, and comments can be submitted.  Light refreshments will be served. 

To prepare Penn's Parks for All, a series of surveys was conducted by Penn State in 2017 and 2018 to assess the attitudes and opinions of Pennsylvania state park visitors and the public regarding key issues affecting the future of the state parks. In 2017, 10,186 adults responded online and 4,090 answered surveys at parks. A 2018 statewide telephone effort reached out to 1,650 Pennsylvanians; and an online survey the same year targeted 1,131 Latinos, Asians and African Americans.

Public comment on these survey responses and resultant recommendations will be accepted online and in writing until December 31, 2019. a copy of the report is available on the DCNR website.
