Willapa Hills Trail- Chehalis to Adna

Status
Funded in 2010
WWRP Applicant: State Parks WWRP Category: Trails WWRP Grant: $719,270 Applicant Match: $180,000 Project Type: Development County: Lewis  Legislative District: 19th 

State Parks will use this grant to improve 10 miles of the Willapa Hills Trail between Chehalis and Adna. Much of the 56-mile-long rail-trail, which runs from Chehalis to South Bend, is closed to the public because of the poor condition of railroad trestles and trail surface. Proposed improvements include building trailheads at Chehalis and Adna, paving the trail, adding a gravel side for equestrians, and re-decking one trestle. Each trailhead will provide parking for 10 vehicles, picnic tables, and a restroom. State Parks will contribute $180,000 in a federal grant.

State Senators cherry pick projects, ignore WWRP rankings

The State Senate's proposed budget slashes Washington Wildlife & Recreation Program funding to almost half of what Governor Inslee recommended while favoring poorly ranked projects over highly ranked ones. The WWRP's independent ranking system is the key to its years of success, ensuring only the best projects get funded. Take action & urge your legislators to restore full funding today!

LWCF full funding bill reintroduced

Sens. Baucus (MT), Burr (NC), and Wyden (OR) & 4 cosponsors have introduced a new bill, the “Land and Water Conservation Authorization and Funding Act of 2013,” to provide full, permanent and dedicated funding for LWCF. Please join us in asking Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to renew their support and once again co-sponsor the bill!
