Strategy & Planning
The Office of Outdoor Recreation's Strategy & Planning team focuses on conservation and recreation planning across Tennessee, including within the TDEC Bureau of Conservation. Guided by the state's vision, strategic project management, and data-driven decision making, we engage stakeholders and develop strategies to address outdoor needs. We accomplish this by providing data and spatial analytics, assessing conservation needs, evaluating demand for outdoor recreation, and identifying opportunities for Tennessee's great outdoors to be more successful.
