Important Funding Restored?

Print

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), an important source of funding for federal, state and local outdoor recreation projects since the mid 1960s, but unfunded at the state and local level since 1995, may be making a comeback. Many cities, counties, state parks and fishing access sites were developed and acquired with LWCF monies. Currently five pieces of legislation are being considered in Washington, D.C. This funding is crucial to preserve precious outdoor recreation lands throughout Montana. Contact Ken Soderberg at Helena Parks.
