Goals and Recommendations
To paint a picture of where outdoor recreation in Nebraska is headed
over the next five years, goals have been outlined. Goals are defined
as broad statements detailing what the State of Nebraska wants to
accomplish in relation to outdoor recreation. The action items listed
with each goal are steps to assist in accomplishing the goals and
meeting the desired outcomes. The desired outcomes are the intended
results of achieving the goal and subsequent action items. Desired
outcomes are ultimately used as an evaluation of success.
Because every community is at a different stage in their outdoor
recreation pursuits, it's helpful to show a progression of action items
within each goal. The action items are outlined by level of complexity
from basic, intermediate, and advanced action items. Although
each action item and desired outcome are important, there is one
highlighted desired outcome within each goal that was identified by the
SCORP Advisory Board as the ultimate strategic direction Nebraskans
should take to work toward achieving a better understanding and
appreciation for outdoor recreation. Action items marked with a green
leaf directly relate to the highlighted desired outcome to show that
no matter where you are in your outdoor recreation pursuits, you can
continue to work toward Nebraska's strategic direction by focusing
on the action items identified. Many of the other action items under
each goal can be achieved in concert with one another, so the items
identified with a green leaf are only a starting place.
