The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) is hosting a series of webinars on February 11, 2026, to start the application cycle for 2026-27!
If you are thinking about applying for a grant for your outdoor recreation or conservation project, links to the webinars are now available. They are divided into three separate meetings (Parks, Conservation, and Working Lands). You are welcome to attend one or all three meetings, depending on your needs.
The webinars will include information about the grants offered, eligibility requirements, deadlines, program changes for 2026, and how to apply for a grant. These webinars are for programs that have an April 30, 2026, application due date.
Even if you cannot attend the live webinars, register and RCO will send you a link to the recordings after they are posted on RCO’s website.
