 Land and Water Conservation Fund Program
State Parks administers the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) federal grant Program. Funds are provided through the U.S. Department of Interior’s National Park Service. The LWCF Program is a 50 % federal and 50 % local matching grant program. Currently, there is no funding available. Please continue to visit this site for future updates.
The LWCF Fund Act of 1965 (P.L. 85-578) created a program to stimulate, encourage and assist state and local governments to acquire, develop and improve viable outdoor recreation areas and facilities. New Mexico has received $37.8 million dollars from the LWCF program since its inception 41 years ago and funded hundreds of projects around the state from baseball and soccer fields to trails, playgrounds and picnic areas. State agencies, municipalities, counties, schools, and tribes have developed and improved over 1,000 close to home outdoor recreation areas in response to the needs of its citizens and visitors by providing a permanent legacy of parks, facilities and open space.
In an concerted effort to meet LWCF Program requirements, New Mexico must inspect every project funded since 1965 every five years. Please register with Maurice (Moses) Mondary for access to the LWCF ON-LINE for LWCF inspection forms and LWCF news. We will also continue to contact funded project sponsors by mail regarding projects due for inspection until the LWCF data base is completed and posted to this web page.
