Applicants may request up to $100,000 with a required match of 20 percent. Eligible activities include construction or maintenance of motorized and nonmotorized trails or trail-related facilities, purchase of trail equipment and development of trail education or ethics programs.
Grant applicants may include federal, tribal, state, county or municipal agencies (including school districts); and private corporations, including nonprofits.
A webinar training, including a question-and-answer session, will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 9 a.m. This session is highly recommended.
