WeConservePA Now Accepting Applications For Regional Trail Workshop Grants

WeConservePA is now accepting applications for Regional Trail Workshop Grants through February 20 from eligible units of local government or nonprofit organizations.

The grants support high-quality educational programming and safety training directly related to land trails, water trails, and greenways, including--

-- Trail safety education programs or trail-related environmental education programs, including programs promoting environmental protection, for trail managers, volunteers, or trail users.

-- Training on improving trail accessibility and sustainability for trail managers or volunteers.

-- Training on planning, design, construction, and maintenance of trails for trail managers and volunteers (because each of these steps can relate directly to trail safety and environmental protection.)

The grants provide reimbursement of up to 80% of the total eligible project costs directly associated with each workshop, with a maximum reimbursement of $5,000 and require at least a 20% match of the total project cost from the applying organization. 

Funding is provided by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Visit the WeConservePA Regional Trail Workshop Grants webpage for all the details. Questions should be directed to: Emily Gates at egates@weconservepa.org or 717-219-4074.
