The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 was enacted “…to assist in preserving, developing and assuring accessibility to all citizens of the United States of America of present and future generations… such quality and quantity of outdoor recreation resources as may be available and are necessary and desirable for individual active participation….” This federal program provides matching grants to states and through the states to local governments for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. The Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance is provided on a 50/50 matching basis to individual projects. These projects are submitted through the state liaison officer to the National Park Service for approval.
The Nevada Division of State Parks is pleased to announce the availability of federal funds for local park and recreation capital improvement and acquisition projects through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (L&WCF) program. All political subdivisions, including counties, incorporated cities; unincorporated towns, general improvement districts, and Native American tribal governments are potentially eligible for the 50:50 matching grants offered through the program.
