Pennsylvania: Shapiro Administration Invests Nearly $82 Million in Recreation and Conservation
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's administration announced nearly $82 million in new state funding for more than 295 recreation and conservation projects in 58 counties, through the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2).
The awards include $31.3 million for 140 park, recreation and conservation facility projects; $16.2 million to conserve 4,818 acres of land; $13.1 million for 53 statewide and regional organizations; $9.5 million for 22 community and watershed forestry projects; $8.2 million for 29 trail projects; and $3.2 million for 16 river projects.

The administration noted the 2025-26 budget added $13 million for DCNR. Pennsylvania's outdoor recreation industry is worth $19 billion, has grown 10 percent under Shapiro, and supports about 168,000 jobs and $9 billion in wages. The state has more than 6,400 local parks, 124 state parks with a 125th coming in 2026, over 14,000 miles of trails, and more than 38 million visitors a year.
