DNR solicits park and trail grant applications for 2020



Now is the chance for local governments to request funding for natural resource improvements.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Parks and Trails Division is accepting applications to improve outdoor recreation facilities, natural and scenic areas, regional trails, local trail connections, and motorized, non-motorized, and multiuse recreational trails.

The application due dates are Friday, Feb. 28, for the Federal Recreational Trail Grant Program, and Friday, March 30, for the other programs. Although funding has not yet been appropriated, the DNR anticipates that both federal and state funding will be available during 2020 for these programs.

For information about eligible projects and how to apply for a grant, visit the Recreation Grants page of the DNR website.
