The New Mexico Economic Development Department’s (EDD) Outdoor Recreation Division (ORD) announced $4.3M in Outdoor Recreation Trails+ Grant awards to 16 recipients across 10 counties. The grants are aimed at the design, construction, and maintenance of outdoor recreation trails in the state, with particular attention to fire-damaged track recovery. Noteworthy grantees include the City of Carlsbad and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC). Carlsbad received a Tier 3 grant of $1 million, which will fund major renovations of the Lower Tansill Recreation Area along the Pecos River. Meanwhile, RMYC plans to use its award for the restoration of over 300 miles of New Mexico’s most vulnerable burnt trail corridors, training the next generation of New Mexico’s conservation leaders in the process. Applications for the third round of Outdoor Recreation Trails+ Grant projects are open until December 31, 2024.
