The NextGen Advisory Council was created by DCNR to offer fresh perspectives on public lands, outdoor recreation, and conservation initiatives in Pennsylvania.
Its mission is to:
-- Make outdoor spaces welcoming for all
-- Advocate for inclusive and accessible programs
-- Build and retain a diverse workforce in conservation
Expectations include:
-- Attending quarterly meetings on the third Tuesday of January, April, July, and October. These meetings are virtual, featuring talks from department staff and discussions on projects.
-- Joining optional evening meetings for committees and special projects.
-- Committing to an initial three-year term, with the option to extend.
By bringing together high school students to young professionals (up to age 35), the council ensures that younger voices play a role in shaping the future of Pennsylvania’s natural resources.
