Outdoor Rx: Expanding Opportunities for Veterans On NYS Public Lands
Description:

On Veterans Day 2020, New York States’ Outdoor Rx Act became law. The new statute called upon the New York State Division of Veterans’ Services (hereinafter DVS) to assemble the Outdoor Rx Committee (“Committee”), comprised of public sector and private sector subject-matter experts and produce a report reviewing issues related to veterans’ abilities to access State parks, lands, and facilities. In 2021, DVS delivered the Committee’s report to the Governor and to the designated members of the New York State Legislature recommending continued engagement and support for community-based organizations working to increase access for veterans to medical treatment and nature-based therapy and programs on New York public lands, with particular focus on inclusion, equity, and accessibility for minority, marginalized, and disabled veteran populations.
