State office seeks scorers

Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office seeks nearly 70 volunteers to help determine how millions in state grants should be spent in Washington’s outdoors.

The volunteers will score grant applications submitted to two statewide programs: (1) the Washington Wildlife and Recreation program, which provides grants to build and renovate parks and trails, and to protect and restore valuable wildlife habitat and farmland, and (2) the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account, which provides grants to restore Washington shorelines and create access for people to the waterfront. The grants are awarded to cities, counties, state agencies, tribes and others.

Volunteers are needed to evaluate grants applications for park and shoreline use, trails, farm and ranchland conservation, wildlife habitat conservation and shoreline conservation.
