State Parks Partner Groups Receive $900,000 To Maintain and Promote Public Lands
Friends groups that help support State Parks have received $900,000 in grants to support their critical work in maintaining these open spaces for the public.
The Park and Trail Partnership Program grants are funded through the state Environmental Protection Fund and support partner group efforts to raise private funds for capital projects, perform maintenance tasks, provide educational programming, and promote public use of the parks through hosting of special events.
Established in 2015, the program has so far awarded $2.7 million to these volunteer groups to strengthen Parks, historic sites and public lands for years to come. Learn more
