2012 Land and Water Conservation Fund Annual Report
"Funding and Protecting Parks Where You Live"
NPS is pleased to release the 2012 Annual Report for the Land and Water Conservation Fund State and Local Assistance Program. This report highlights many of the Program's accomplishments from last year. In partnership with State and local governments, NPS has provided the American public with new and enhanced outdoor recreation areas in communities across the United States. The 338 parks and recreation areas funded by LWCF in Fiscal Year 2012 will help satisfy some of the significant national demand that exists for recreation facility development and parkland acquisition, which is also described in this report.
You may download a pdf version of the annual report here. Printed copies of the report are also available from our regional LWCF program offices in Atlanta, Omaha, Philadelphia, and Seattle, or the national program office in Washington, DC (lwcf_grants@nps.gov).
