Land and Water Conservation Fund - State Funding
Land and Water Conservation Fund - State Funding
Administered through the National Park Service, the LWCF State program provides a 50% match to states for planning, developing, and acquiring land and water areas for natural resource protection and recreation enhancement.
Funds are distributed to states based on population and need. Once the funds are distributed to the states, it is up to each state to choose the projects, though the National Park Service has final approval.
Eligible grant recipients include municipal subdivisions, state agencies and tribal governments, each of whom must provide at least 50% matching funds in either cash or in-kind contributions and a detailed plan for the proposed project.
