HCR 24 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution designating February 12, 2025, as Vermont Outdoor Recreation Day at the State House

This concurrent resolution designates February 12, 2025, as Vermont Outdoor Recreation Day at the State House to celebrate the state's outdoor recreation economy and community benefits. It recognizes Vermont's 8,000+ miles of trails, 360,000 acres of public lands, and the $2.1 billion annual economic impact of outdoor recreation (employing over 16,000 Vermonters). The resolution directs the Secretary of State to share it with state agencies like Natural Resources, Tourism, and outdoor industry associations. It has no new policy requirements or funding - it is purely ceremonial, aiming to highlight existing outdoor recreation assets and their role in Vermont's economy and well-being.
