Trail funds available

Brief by Central Staff

Trails – November 2002 – Colorado Central Magazine

If you know of a trail that could use money, the state has some — about $3.5 million in grants for design, planning and construction of pedestrian recreational trails, off-highway vehicle trails, and several other varieties.

The deadline for grant applications for the 2003-04 funding cycle is Nov. 29, and the grants will be announced next April. Applications are reviewed and awarded based on benefits, financial feasibility, and community support.

The money comes from Colorado State Parks, Great Outdoors Colorado (Lotto), the Land and Water Conservation Fund (federal oil royalty receipts), and several other state and federal sources.

For an application form or more information, visit www.coloradoparks.org/trails, e-mail cotrails@state.co.us, call 303-866-3203 ext. 306, or fax 303-866-3206.
