Maine’s Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
or SCORP
The Federal Land and
Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF) provides financial
support to the state and municipalities to acquire and develop
outdoor recreation areas and facilities and to undertake statewide
outdoor recreation planning. To be eligible for these funds,
the state must have a statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation
plan (SCORP) approved by the National Park Service (NPS).
The statewide recreation plan is normally approved for 5-year
intervals, and the current Maine SCORP
is approved for the 2003-2008 period.
Maine’s SCORP identifies the demand for and supply
of outdoor recreation areas and facilities based on available
information, and discusses outdoor recreation issues of statewide
importance based on public and focus group comment. The plan's
Implementation Program suggests broad priorities for expenditure
of LWCF dollars in Maine.
