DCNR Grant Workshops for Recreation and Conservation Projects

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Bureau of Recreation and Conservation 2014 grant program for public recreation and conservation projects opens January 15, 2014 and ends April 16, 2014. In partnership with the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society, DCNR is offering free, in-person grant workshops at six locations across Pennsylvania in February.

These workshops will provide information to potential applicants on DCNR grants available for public recreation and conservation projects. Grants are funded through a variety of grant programs including the Keystone Recreation and Conservation Fund, Environmental Stewardship Fund, Pennsylvania Recreational Trails Program, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Participants in these grant workshops will be provided with in-depth information on projects eligible for DCNR’s grant funds, how to develop a competitive “ready-to-go” application, eligible applicants, and matching fund requirements. Participants will also receive guidance and updates on the eGrants application process and the documents required for each type of project, and have the opportunity to interact with Bureau of Recreation and Conservation staff. Community leaders, municipal officials, consultants, land trusts, board members, trail managers, and park
and recreation professionals are encouraged to attend.

The workshop dates and locations are as follows:

CONSHOHOCKEN, Montgomery County Public Safety Training Campus: Fire Academy Feb. 6
