Purpose

Adopt the SCORP.

Background

Background: The purpose of the Sauk County Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) is to establish outdoor recreation priorities; which protect, conserve and manage land owned by Sauk County.  The plan serves as a guidance tool for current and future outdoor recreation decisions and emphasizes an integrated and connected system of public lands, recreation spaces, and unique places that a diverse population has the ability to access and a range of opportunities to enjoy.

 

The CORP focusses on four priority areas, which include development of the county park system, resource management and stewardship, partnerships, and economic development and tourism. Unlike former county outdoor recreation plans, the 2020-2024 CORP focusses on maturing the Sauk County Parks and Recreation program through development of existing county properties, acquisition of new properties, developing master plans for county owned park properties, expansion of ATV/UTV opportunities, and continued development of the Great Sauk State Trail.

 

The CORP is also a prerequisite to participation in outdoor recreation grant programs pursuant to Wis. Admin Code NR 50 for the following programs: Federal Land and Water Conservation Program, Aids for the Acquisition and Development of Local Parks, Urban Greenspace Program, and the Urban Rivers Grant Program.
