Parks and Recreation: Approaching Conservation with Community Engagement Focus

“Conservationists are practical souls. After all, the first step in conserving any resource is to measure the gap between what is needful and what is wasteful. To conserve is to count—and there are as many different ways to do it as there are valuable natural resources to save. Parks and recreation leaders, in their stories of conserving and protecting resources, detail approaches as varied as the agencies and regions they represent. And they catalog concrete achievements - the nuts and bolts of inventorying, surveying, measuring, setting policy, applying tools and technologies, and assessing impact.”

An article in the current issue of the National Recreation and Park Association’s journal, Parks & Recreation, examined a number of ways in which parks and recreation leaders approach conservation with a focus on community engagement.
