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 Fish and Wildlife will use this grant for the redevelopment of the White Bridge boat ramp on the Wynoochee River located approximately 11 miles northwest of Montesano in Grays Harbor County. This grant will provide funding for the materials and construction of a new boat ramp. Development will include removal of the existing damaged boat ramp, excavation of the ramp footprint, placement of new base materials, installation of new ramp planks, armor flex matting, stainless steel cabling and log and root wads for bank stabilization to ensure safe sustainable ramp infrastructure. Additionally, a combination of native shrubs and trees will be planted to mitigate any soil disturbance. The primary recreaton opportunity provided by this project is boating and fishing activities.
