It has come to my attention that many of you are unaware of the assistance that may be available
through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Since 1965 the LWCF, administered
in Montana by the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, has been the principal source of
federal funds for acquiring new recreation lands and the development of local parks and public
recreational facilities. Walt Timmerman, of the Parks Division of the Montana Department of
Fish, Wildlife, and Parks currently manages the LWCF. There are presently over $600,000
dollars available for release throughout the state, and it is my goal that every community has an
opportunity to participate and benefit from access to these grants.
In response, i have directed my staff to organize several seminars throughout the state to assist
you with the grant process and to better inform you of the funds that are available through the
LWCF. Walt Timmerman has generously agreed to assist my staff by conducting these
seminars. He will discuss the LWCF and offer assistance with the grant writing process through
a hands-on approach using several sample grants. If you have any additional need of assistance,
please contact my Washington D.C. office at 202-225-3211 or contact my state office at 1-888-
232-2626.
Thank you and I sincerely hope that you can attend
