(KNOX) – North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has signed an executive order, establishing an “Office of Outdoor Recreation.”
The office will be housed in the state Parks and Recreation Department. It will involve that department, Game and Fish and Commerce. Burgum says it will also reach out to the private sector for partnerships.
Burgum says, “We need to get our game on” to recruit talent… people who want to fish or pheasant hunt, but also people who want to become residents of North Dakota.
State parks director Cody Schulz agrees the key will be outreach to that private sector.
North Dakota becomes the 22nd state with an Office of Outdoor recreation.
