The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to enhance the Arizona National Scenic Trail. This grant aims to foster public land and trail stewardship among users, local communities, and youth by encouraging volunteer involvement in the planning, development, maintenance, and protection of the trail’s corridor. Furthermore, it will facilitate outdoor educational programs for youth from Tier I schools in the Tucson and Arizona Strip Field Offices. These programs will leverage trail segments for field trips, enriching classroom learning and connecting participants with public lands and their inherent resource values.
