Only a few groups are selected each year, so apply early. Applications are due by June 1 each year. Keys to determining which projects will receive grants are the importance of the project to local greenway development efforts, how likely the project is to produce tangible results, and the extent to which the grant results in matching funds from other sources. Applications must be received by June 1 to be eligible for funds. The Volunteer Vacations program is used extensively throughout the country and provides adult trail crews for generally a two-week period.
