FY 2016 Appropriation

The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act was established by Congress in 1965. It created a federal reimbursement grant program for the acquisition and/or development of public outdoor recreation areas. Federal oversight of the program is provided by the National Park Service; however, the program is administered locally by the State of Utah, through the Division of State Parks and Recreation. Any site/facility that is purchased, developed, or improved with funding from this grant is protected in perpetuity as a public outdoor recreation area.

Since its inception, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program has funded more than 400 projects in Utah totaling more than $47 million in assistance. The LWCF is a 50-50 matching reimbursement program. The grant recipient must be able to fund 100 percent of the project, while seeking periodic reimbursements for eligible expenses from the program.
