Los Angeles Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment

06/08/2023

On December 6, 2022, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted the 2022 Parks Needs Assessment Plus (PNA+) Final Report as the county’s plan to achieve "30x30” which is the goal of conserving 30 percent of lands and coastal waters by the year 2030 to fight climate change and protect biodiversity. The PNA+ establishes a new paradigm for conservation that includes both the acquisition and protection of natural lands and the proactive and strategic restoration of degraded lands. Thank you National Association of Counties, National Association of County Park and Recreation Officials, and American Planning Association - Los Angeles for recognizing and highlighting this important work!
