Division of Territorial Parks and Protected Areas – USVI Department of Planning & Natural Resources is developing the Territorial Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (TCORP) for 2026 - 2036. The TCORP will outline the existing status, current needs, and future vision for outdoor recreation and open space protection. It will be informed by public input from our growing and changing population and will set concrete goals and strategies for improvements and additions to our infrastructure, programming, and resources.

The TCORP will also meet the National Park Service’s planning eligibility requirements for the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund program. This program is a valuable source of support for protecting resources and providing facilities for public recreational use.

The TCORP will also include a wetlands priority plan required under the federal Emergency Wetlands Conservation Act.
