The National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program has a new round of assistance available to partners to plan successful locally-led outdoor recreation and natural resource conservation projects.

The deadline is August 1.

The project applicant may be a state or local agency, tribe, non-profit organization, or citizens' group. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their project with RTCA staff before sending in an application. It can be helpful to schedule an advance field visit by our staff to best understand how RTCA can be of assistance.

Those interested should return the completed application to the Program Leader for the region in which the project is located.

Visit the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program webpage for more information.
