What

PPORA brings people, organizations, and resources together to ensure that the outdoor experiences you love – enjoying our natural landscapes and recreational opportunities – continue well into the future. We work behind the scenes, collaborating to plan for the future and solve problems, like the tremendous growth in recreational use. We focus on 5 pillars: GROW, INSPIRE, STRENGTHEN, STEWARD, ADVOCATE.

Why

Because the outdoors matters to us! And we know it matters to you and to our local communities. We work together to ensure that you and future generations continue to enjoy and care for our region’s amazing natural and recreational assets. We are stronger when we work together.

Needs

We need volunteers or in-kind help with events, grant writing, social media and graphic design work for projects.
