Category Overview
The State Lands Development and Renovation category provides funding to two state agencies to repair, renovate, and develop outdoor recreation facilities on existing recreation lands. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases in our state, these grants help address overcrowding, ensure our outdoor amenities are safe for public use, improve visitor experience, and allow more people to enjoy our great outdoors.
Project Highlights
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) used this grant to restore nearshore habitat and to enhance low-impact recreation and environmental education at Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA). The project provided safe access to the beach, developed interpretive facilities, including an environmental learning shelter, upgraded the parking lot and primitive kayak and canoe launch, and restored potrions of the Woodard Bay and Chapman Bay nearhsore habitats.
