Quick Action Environmental Data Assessment Checklist
This quick-action assessment checklist guides local park and recreation professionals through collecting basic data agencies should consider when conducting an environmental sustainability assessment. The checklist provides an array of data sources and metrics appropriate for parks across five key areas — resilience, environment, economic, social and general. This tool can help identify the most essential data to collect and provide possible next steps for leveraging this information to advance data-driven environmental sustainability goals. It was adapted specifically for parks from ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability USA's tools in partnership with NRPA.
