$734,000 Available For Trails In Montana

Print

If your trails club or agency needs money to create, complete, renovate or maintain a recreational trail, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has money to help get the job done! The Recreational Trails Program, one part of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21), will provide $734,000 for Montana trails. FWP’s State Parks Division administers these funds with advice from the citizen’s State Trails Advisory Committee. Recreational Trails funds can be used for all types of trails including non-motorized, motorized, multiple use, community, rural and back country. Private trail clubs and public agencies are eligible to receive money from this program. Earlier in 2000, FWP provided $690,000 to 40 trail projects. The department also provides advice and assistance with trail design and management. Applications for Recreational Trails Program funds are now available. To request a hard copy, call the State Trails Programs office at 444-4585 and leave a message with your name and address. Applications must be submitted to FWP by December 15, 2000.
