PNTS Trail Intern Grant Award Announcement
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 2021 National Trails System Intern Grants. The Intern Grants create opportunities for young adults to become involved, or further their involvement, with our national trails while strengthening the capacity of the organizations and agencies that administer and manage the national scenic and historic trails.
Fourteen grants totaling $129,990 were awarded in 2021. These grants will be matched with over $190,494 of in-kind contributions and over $283,276 in both partner non-Federal cash funds and other Federal funds.
