A new office has launched in Harrisburg that looks to spread the word about the outdoors.
Governor Josh Shapiro announced the creation of the Office of Outdoor Recreation. It will be a part of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to create a “cohesive strategy for the growth and expansion of the outdoor sector.”
State officials say outdoor recreation adds $14 billion to the Pennsylvania economy along with 152,000 jobs.
This year’s state budget set aside $112 million for state parks and forests, which is the largest in decades.
