[Saturday, January 8, 2011]

 The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (Department) announces the 2011 open application period for the Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2) Grants administered by the Bureau of Recreation and Conservation (Bureau). The primary open application period will officially begin January 3, 2011, and end at 4 p.m. on April 20, 2011. Depending on the funding source, eligible applicants include Commonwealth municipalities and appropriate nonprofit organizations.

 All applications must be submitted electronically through the Environmental eGrants System available at https://www.grants.dcnr.state.pa.us/index.aspx. No paper, faxed or e-mailed applications will be accepted. All grant information, project guidance documents, program policies and application instructions are available online at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/brc/grants/. For assistance with the Environmental eGrants System, call the Department's Grants Customer Service Center at (800) 326-7734 or e-mail DCNR-Grants@state.pa.us.

 Grant assistance from the Department helps communities in this Commonwealth and organizations plan, acquire and develop recreation, park and trail facilities and conserve open space. The Bureau administers the C2P2 Program which combines several State and Federal funding sources into one grant program.

 Examples of eligible projects include community recreation projects to develop and rehabilitate parks and recreation facilities; open space conservation projects including purchase of lands in fee or with a conservation easement to protect critical habitat; developing greenways and trails; purchasing trail maintenance equipment; river conservation activities like fishing and boating access along river corridors; and partnership projects that provide education and training on natural resource, recreation, parks, greenways and trails.

 In 2011, the Department Grant Program will focus on making grant awards that create or enhance this Commonwealth's recreation and conservation infrastructure—supporting sustainable communities, economic development, healthy lifestyles and creating jobs. Specific priorities for grant projects are: park and recreational facilities that demonstrate green principles and connect children to healthy recreation and the outdoors; trails; river access projects and projects identified by regional partnerships including Conservation Landscapes Initiatives, Statewide Significant Greenways and Heritage Areas. For more information on many of these priorities visit www.paoutdoorrecplan.com.

 During January and February, free grants workshops are scheduled at the following locations throughout this Commonwealth, from 8:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. focusing on the Department's greening emphasis, how to develop a competitive and ready to go project and changes to the 2011 C2P2 Grants Program:
