NEW FUNDING FOR HELENE RECOVERY: To support the continued recovery of communities impacted by Hurricane Helene, ORR is pleased to announce new Rebuilding and Recovery Grants. The grant program will award $5,000-$10,000 grants to fund organizations and volunteer groups working to clean up and repair recreation sites impacted by the storm and help alleviate the lingering economic burden of recovery efforts felt by local communities in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.? “Outdoor recreation is a cornerstone of our nation’s quality of life, and when natural disasters like Hurricane Helene strike, it’s our communities that are left to pick up the pieces,” said Jessica (Wahl) Turner, President of Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. “These micro-grants are designed to support local organizations and volunteers that are leading the way in restoring and revitalizing the outdoor spaces that are vital to the local economies and health, well-being, and connection to nature.” ? ORR will continue to shine a spotlight on the impact of outdoor recreation to these communities, their economies, and their cultures, and work with federal, state, and local partners to ensure ongoing attention to their recovery. These grants are made possible through funding from the Richard King Mellon Foundation.? More information about eligibility can be found at the link in the comments. Amy Allison Brian Clifford
