The Office of Outdoor Recreation was established by the
MORE Commission to support and enhance outdoor recreation opportunities across the state.
We are guided by the “five Es”: Environmental conservation & stewardship, Education & workforce development, Economic development, Exercise health & wellness and Equity, access & inclusion.
