The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will accept applications from municipalities and other organizations interested in applying for 2024 Land and Water Conservation Fund or Recreational Trails Program grants through 11:59 p.m. Central time Sept. 6.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund is for outdoor recreation acquisition and development. Projects such as swimming pools, picnicking facilities, sports fields, playgrounds, splash pads, wildlife viewing facilities, fishing access, adventure spots (such as ziplines and rock-climbing) and park-related support facilities are eligible.
The Recreational Trails Program is for motorized or non-motorized trails, covering acquisition, development, maintenance, and trail-related support facilities.
The programs help communities reach their outdoor recreation goals by providing reimbursable grants with a 50-80% match component. Eligible applicants include villages, cities, public power districts, Natural Resource Districts, and Tribal entities.
For more information on the grant programs and to apply for the grants, visit OutdoorNebraska.gov and search for RTP or LWCF.
