Along with other state parks, Dead Horse Point is delving into social media to promote itself.Many this year will have the good fortune to travel through rivers and backcountry roads to explore Utah’s canyons and buttes, reveling in their majestic and inspiring views.
Like any federally funded program, there have been challenges properly spending this money. But recent legislative action, championed by the Oak Grove Initiative and our partners, is addressing these challenges. According to the IG, the primary reason funds were not obligated was money to support program administration costs had not been provided to states.
Along with increased funds for conservation and recreation projects, the newly enacted law offers states a lifeline of administrative support by providing them with up to 7% in matching grants to support administrative costs for their LWCF programs. These funds will be essential to enjoying and improving Utah recreational opportunities, while supporting and growing the $454 billion recreation economy.
