Land and Water Conservation Grant Applications Due April 30

By The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism

03/13/2014

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) is accepting applications for federal grants from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) until April 30, 2014. The program provides 50 percent reimbursement to selected outdoor recreation projects sponsored by cities, counties, and other appropriate public agencies. Since 1965, Kansas has received over $50 million and funded approximately 650 LWCF projects in nearly every county.

Grant application materials can be found on the KDWPT website, www.ksoutdoors.com, by clicking “State Parks” then “Grants.” Eligible projects include development and/or acquisition of outdoor facilities for the purpose of public recreation. Applications should provide clear evidence of public input and address recreation needs identified in the 2009 Kansas Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), which may be downloaded at www.ksoutdoors.com.

For more information about project eligibility or application requirements, contact Kyle Jackson, KDWPT LWCF Grant Coordinator at 620-672-0740.
