Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks awarded more than $2 million in grants for a program that builds trails and maintains recreation areas across the state.
Thirty-six organizations, communities and land management agencies will receive money from the 2024 Trail Stewardship Program.
Lincoln County will receive nearly $63,000 to improve the Kootenai Falls trailhead visitors' services and accessibility. Five Valleys Land Trust received $100,000 toward work in the Rock Creek Confluence outside Missoula.
The program is partly funded through Montana’s light motor vehicle registration fee and the taxation of recreational marijuana.
