Whether its rehabilitating a community athletic field, building a safer playground, preparing a watershed or greenways plan, developing an abandoned rail corridor, protecting a critical natural or open space area or constructing a snowmobile or ATV Trail, the Bureau of Recreation & Conservation's Community Conservation Partnerships Program can provide communities and nonprofit organizations with the technical assistance or grant funding to undertake these and other types of recreation and conservation projects. The Community Conservation Partnerships Program is a combination of several funding sources and grant programs: the Commonwealths Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund (Key 93), the Environmental Stewardship and Watershed Protection Act (Growing Greener), and Act 68 Snowmobile and ATV Trails Fund. The Program also includes federal funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and the Recreational Trails component of the Transportation Equity Act for the Twenty-first Century (TEA-21). The C2P2 contains the following grant components: Community Recreation, Land Trusts, Rails-to-Trails, Rivers Conservation, Snowmobile/ATV, Heritage Parks, Land and Water Conservation Fund and Recreational Trails. Except for the Heritage Parks grants, all other components have been combined into one annual application cycle (generally late summer/early fall), and use a single application format and process with one grant manual and one set of application forms. Applications selected for federal LWCF funding require some supplemental information to enable submission of the application to the National Park Service (NPS). Generally, all components require a match, usually 50 percent of cash or in-hand contributions.
