Help needed to consider grants
OLYMPIA — Volunteers are needed to determine how to spend millions of dollars in state and federal funds for recreation, wildlife conservation and farming grants.
The state Recreation and Conservation Office needs volunteers to evaluate grant applications for programs that provide money for boating, backcountry trails, farmland preservation and shoreline protection.
Applications to serve are due by Sept. 30. Three farmers, three ranchers, two boaters, two habitat conservationists and five trail users are needed.
