6 TEXAS STATE GRANTS AWARDED Great news!!!  Yesterday, the TPWD Commission announced that we were awarded 6 recreational trail grants.  Please visit www.tpwd.texas.gov  and click under TPWD State News and Media for the official news release of our

awarded grants.

My sincere thank you to all of you who were instrumental in preparing

these applications!

SIX GRANTS FOR $1,174,400 APPROVED The Northeast Texas Trail Coalition is excited to announce that Texas Parks and Wildlife recently approved six different grants totaling $1,174,400 for various Northeast Texas Trail projects! It’s important to note that these funds are National Recreational Trails

Fund doll

ars that fund recreational trail construction, renovation and acquisition. These are federal dollars that are generated from a portion of the federal tax on gasoline. Of these funds, 30% are for motorized recreational trails, 30% for non-motorized and 40% is marked as discretionary. In essence, these are dollars that we, as Texans, send to Washington coming back home to projects here in

Northeast Texas.

Open the PDF here for a rundown on grants received! September 9-19 North Texas Giving Day I’m excited to report that the NETT and Chaparral Trails received a total of $4,133.59 in donations from 38 generous trail fans during our North Texas Giving Day campaign.  These funds will be used to obtain additional grants for resurfacing and repairs in the western trail sections. We are grateful for the support of those many Trail users who joined us in this effort!

You’ve

heard all the reasons why it’s critical for you to give and many of you have. THANK YOU so very much, Let’s Build That Trail!!!! We’re off and running on the Northeast Texas Trail’s North Texas Giving Day campaign!  Day 1 saw almost $400 go towards local match money for repairs and resurfacing on the NETT and Chaparral Trail. That’s an exciting start!  Our thanks to those who got us going early.  Now let’s see what we can do for day 2. Remember, donations raised during our North Texas Giving Day campaign will go toward local match money to be used for up to a 4 to 1 match for state and federal grants. So your money does up to 4 times as much work.  And it will all go to western sections of the trail. So go to the following link and schedule your donation right now! And then please contact your friends who bike, hike and walk the trail and ask them to join you in donating to our North Texas Giving Day

campaign!
