Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program
[31 Pa.B. 5457] The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has announced an open application period for funding of acquisition and development projects from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program. Applications are now being accepted as part of DCNR's Community Conservation Partnerships Program grant cycle.
The Community Conservation Partnerships Program combines a variety of funding sources that were previously administered by the Bureau of Recreation and Conservation as separate grant programs, and the LWCF program moneys will be incorporated with these other grant sources to fund applications received during an open application period which began August 8, 2001, and closes October 31, 2001. DCNR anticipates receiving at least $3,000,000 this year from the Federal LWCF appropriation.
An announcement of the Community Conservation Partnerships Program open application period, information on preapplication workshops and an order form for the application manual and forms has been sent to Commonwealth municipalities, municipal agencies, appropriate/authorized organizations and prequalified land trust organizations. Information about the LWCF grants is contained in these documents and materials.
