Proposition 50
California River Parkways Grant Program


THE CALIFORNIA RIVER PARKWAYS GRANT PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION:

The Proposition 50 California River Parkways Grant Program in the Resources Agency is a competitive grant program for river parkways projects. Eligible projects must provide public access or be a component of a larger parkway plan that provides public access. In addition, projects must meet two of the following conditions:
  • Provide compatible recreational opportunities including trails for strolling, hiking, bicycling, and equestrian uses along rivers and streams.
  • Protect, improve, or restore riverine or riparian habitat, including benefits to wildlife habitat and water quality.
  • Maintain or restore the open-space character of lands along rivers and streams so that they are compatible with periodic flooding as part of a flood management plan or project.
  • Convert existing developed riverfront land into uses consistent with river parkways.
  • Provide facilities to support or interpret river or stream restoration or other conservation activities.
Technical Workshops will be held in Sacramento on August 15 and Anaheim on August 16. Click here for more details:
