SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) reports on Outdoor recreation industry leaders assist Minnesota in creating an Outdoor Recreation Task Force (ORTF). Industry leaders include the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, REI and OIA. The ORTF's mission is to study and identify economic and participation opportunities around the state’s robust outdoor recreation resources.
As stated by executive director of ORR Jessica Wahl in press release by ORR, “The outdoor recreation community has worked collectively before to make great strides, but Minnesota’s announcement of an Outdoor Recreation Task Force is a stunning example of our sector working together with the state to create real support for the growing outdoor recreation economy in Minnesota.” Minnesota will select 20 task force members through an online application process on the DNR’s website.
