Online Recreation Survey

Here is an email I received from the TTA list serve. The survey allows you to enter up to five concerns and suggestions for improvment. I would like for folks to list some ideas in the comments so that we can all have some ideas to use on this survey. I listed three things that came to mind and I know others will have some great ideas as well. Do it quick though...we only have until Friday to enter our opinions!


From: TDEC

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation prepares a new
state recreation plan every five years, because the recreation and
conservation needs of Tennesseans are always changing. This year the
department is updating the 2003-2008 Tennessee State Recreation Plan and
developing a new long-range vision plan to guide policies for the next
decade.

The more we're able to learn from the folks who use and care about
recreational parklands, rivers, facilities and programs, the more
accurate and effective the planning process will be. That's why we've
created an online survey that, for the first time, will allow anyone,
anywhere in Tennessee to share their opinions with us.

This survey has been available on-line since early April. So far about
600 responses have been received, which is .01% of the Tennessee
population. A good start, but we can certainly do better. So we're
challenging everyone to help us. Some user groups have generated very
high rates of participation and as a result are more likely to see a
higher priority placed on their interests. It will help TTA, if TDEC
hears from a large portion of our membership about the issues we
consider most important to hikers.

This is your last chance to make your voices heard. This survey will
still be available through Friday, May 29.
