GRANT AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT


The National Park Service is pleased to provide you with the following information on a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant award that is ready for public release.
The LWCF State & Local Assistance Program provides matching grants for local and state park projects outside national park boundaries.  LWCF grants are locally determined and competed at the state level through a process designed and managed by our state partners. These grants help build and protect a "seamless system of parks" from back-yard to back-country.
