SUMMARY:Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) launch webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF) became effective in January 1965 to create parks and open spaces\, protect wilderness and forests\, and provide outdoor recreation opportunities. Funds are derived from federal recreation fees\, Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) revenues from leasing oil and gas sites in coastal waters\, federal surplus real property sales\, and a portion of federal motorboat fuel taxes. Funds are apportioned to federal agencies\, and to the 50 states and 6 territories through the U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service (NPS). In Vermont\, LWCF is administered by the Vermont Department of Forests\, Parks & Recreation. LWCF grants provide up to 50% matching assistance to the state and local governments. \nProject applications are scored and ranked by a project application ranking committee following the Open Project Selection Process (OPSP) using established criteria. The resulting recommendations are reviewed and approved by the ranking committee. All applications must meet an identified need within the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and address local and regional needs. Municipalities must agree to dedicate the park or area where the project is located for public outdoor recreational use in perpetuity. In addition\, the grantee must also agree to develop\, operate\, and maintain the development to acceptable National Park Service (NPS) standards for public outdoor recreation. Grants are subject to approval by the National Park Service (NPS). \nFPR is offering a webinar that will include a presentation explaining the goals of the grant program\, an overview of the process\, and eligible activities to help inform project planning. There will be time at the end of the session for questions from attendees related to project planning and design.  This session will be recorded.  All registered attendees will receive a copy of the recording via email afterward.  The recording will also be posted afterward on the LWCF webpage.
