Webinar: Funding for Community Recreation and Conservation Projects
This webinar was designed for new applicants interested in obtaining grant funding for public recreation and conservation projects through DCNR’s Bureau of Recreation and Conservation grant program. The webinar provided a general overview of the grant program, the types of grant projects, matching fund requirements, eligible applicants and projects, and how to create a “ready to go” competitive grant application. In addition, participants received an overview of potential sources of funding available for recreation and conservation projects from non-DCNR sources.

Free ADA Webinar for Parks, Recreation and Trails

Do you know what is required to meet ADA standards and guidelines when planning and developing park and recreation facilities and trails? DCNR sponsored a free webinar that addressed this, as well as where to find guidance on the draft Final Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas. Ian Brown, Community Accessibility Coordinator with the Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living discussed when, where, and how both the 2010 ADA standards and the draft guidelines for outdoor developed areas need to be applied, and why you need to be proactive in planning and designing for accessibility.
