Grant Description

This agreement is designed to help the BLM complete a number of necessary projects on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCNST). There is currently not enough staffing to complete all the projects on the trail necessary to keep the trail open. On the other hand, the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA), a non-profit organization whose sole focus is to educate and keep the trail open to hikers and equestrian users has over 5,000 volunteers and crews that could assist the BLM in completing the projects. This agreement would help provide funding to the PCTA to complete BLM projects tied to the PCNST.
