NDSL
received grant applications for the use of funds from the
Conservation and Resource Protection Grant Program (Question
1). Technical advisory
groups are established to review the grant proposals and have made
recommendations
to the NDSL
Administrator for final determination. Funding for Round 6 will be granted for
the following project types:
Recreational Trails
Acquisition of Land and Interests in land*
Urban Parks and Greenbelts
Carson River Corridor
*Related
to resource protection.
Grants will be awarded to counties, municipalities, state agencies,
and non-profit conservation organizations for the purpose of
protecting, preserving, and obtaining the benefits of the property
and natural resources of the State of Nevada.
Because funding through this program is limited, allocation
of these funds was competitively determined.
Recommendations were based
on the project’s ability to conserve and protect natural,
scientific, cultural, archaeological, agricultural, paleontological,
historical, wetland, or riparian resources, and environmental
significance. Additional factors considered included the
project’s ability to benefit the public towards an overall
advancement in the conservation and protection of the natural
resources of the state, an enhancement of recreational
opportunities, increased public access to lands and waters, and the
achievement of goals identified in adopted open space plans.
Projects that achieved multiple purposes, leveraged additional
funding sources, and that were integrated with other existing
projects (of the types describe above) were given a higher ranking.
