JEFFERSON CITY, MO, DEC. 16, 2020 – Missouri State Parks announces the opening of the 2021 round for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and the Recreational Trails Program grants.
LWCF grants are available to cities, counties, public school districts and public universities for outdoor recreation projects.
Recreational Trails Program grants fund public trail-related projects and are available to local and state governments, public school districts, public universities, private schools, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and businesses.
"If this year has taught us anything, it’s that we all need access to quality outdoor recreation resources. These grant programs can help communities make access a reality," said Mike Sutherland, director of Missouri State Parks.
