   Montana FWP Provides Grants For Trails

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks granted over $1 million in the past year to 

37 different agencies and private organiza-tions to build and maintain 

trails in Montana. Another $1.1 million will be awarded this fall for trails 

projects.

       FWP administers the federal Recreational Trails Pro-gram, with 

oversight by the Federal Highway Administra-tion.

Last year 16 new urban hiking and bicycle trails were com-pleted on city 

and county properties, and maintenance was done on portions of an-

other 183 backcountry trails on federal lands. Urban trail pro-jects were 

funded in Big Sky, Billings, Havre, Libby, Ronan, Seeley Lake, Shelby, 

Town-send, Virginia City and White-fish.  Backcountry projects included 

maintenance of horse, hiking and mountain bike trails and grooming of 

ski trails and snowmobile trails in most na-tional forests in Montana. A 

complete list of trails projects is available on the FWP web page at 

fwp.mt.gov under State Parks grant programs.

              To apply for Recreational Trails Program funds for late 2006 and 

2007, go to the FWP web page at fwp.mt.gov.  The application deadline is 

July 1.
