The Partnership for the National Trails System, in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service, is pleased to announce grant recipients for their 2020 National Trails System Intern Grants.
The Intern Grants will create opportunities for young adults to become involved, or further their involvement, with our national trails.
Thirteen grants totaling $129,899 were awarded in 2020. A list of grant awardees can be found below. Each grant awarded was approximately $10,000. These grants will be matched with over $87,431 in partner non-Federal cash funds, $999,103 of in-kind contributions, and $145,987 in other Federal funds.
These grant opportunities will help to strengthen the capacity of the organizations and agencies to help administer and manage the national scenic and historic trails.
