SE Group Joins Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR)
We’re thrilled to announce that SE Group has officially become a Business Member of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR), joining an influential coalition of organizations committed to strengthening the outdoor recreation economy, expanding access to nature, and promoting sustainable public lands management.
ORR is the nation’s premier coalition of outdoor recreation trade associations with a mission to ensure that outdoor recreation is recognized as an essential part of healthy, resilient, and sustainable communities, a mission that deeply resonates with us at SE Group.
Why This Matters
- The U.S. outdoor recreation economy is a major force, contributing roughly $1.2 trillion in economic output and supporting millions of jobs nationwide.
- As pressures mount on public lands, infrastructure, access, climate resilience, and workforce development, coordinated advocacy and policy leadership are more important than ever.
- SE Group’s decades of experience in recreation and trails planning, environmental planning & permitting, and public-private collaboration align closely with ORR’s key priorities, especially around infrastructure, access, and sustainability.
What SE Group Brings to ORR
SE Group was founded on the belief that creating outdoor recreational experiences is a powerful way to improve individual human well-being, while also serving as a foundation for thriving communities.
As the first consulting firm to focus on the planning, design and operation of ski areas, the company established itself as an internationally recognized innovator and leader in the mountain resort industry. Since that time, we have worked on thousands of mountain resort projects—in the United Stated and across the globe.
Over the past six decades, SE Group has evolved along with our clients’ needs into a multi-disciplinary outdoor recreation planning and design firm, while staying true to our fundamental values and passions.
Joining ORR is a meaningful milestone for SE Group. Our new membership is not just symbolic; it’s an invitation to engage more deeply in shaping the future of outdoor recreation in this country.
Thank you to ORR for welcoming us, and to all the partners and members pushing forward an inclusive, sustainable, and vibrant outdoor economy.
