Money available for trails in Nevada

The Nevada Division of State Parks is seeking grant pre-applications in anticipation of the 2015 federal funding of the Recreational Trails Program. Nevada could potentially receive $1.1 million in grant funds.

Submittal of a pre-application is recommended, but not required.

Grants may be awarded to counties, municipalities, state and federal agencies, private organizations, nonprofits and Native American tribal governments for the purpose of providing outdoor recreational trail activities. Because funding through this program is limited, allocation of these funds will be competitively determined by the Ad-Hoc Recreation Trails Program Committee.

Go online to review the manual and determine eligibility. Pre-applications may also be downloaded. They are due Nov. 30. Questions should be directed to Jenny Scanland at 775.684.2787 or jscanland@parks.nv.gov.
