About the Grants
From parks to playgrounds, wilderness to wetlands, bicycle paths to hiking trails, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has helped government agencies nationwide to protect valuable natural resources and provide meaningful public recreation opportunities since 1965.
Administered locally by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) on behalf of the National Park Service (NPS), the program focuses on land acquisition to create new outdoor spaces, or the development of existing sites and facilities dedicated to public outdoor recreation.
