WCB’s Public Access Program funds planning and implementation to create or enhance outdoor access statewide, prioritizing boating, hunting/fishing, and non-consumptive wildlife recreation. Planning grants support project development likely to qualify for future implementation funding; implementation grants fund construction, enhancement, or rehabilitation of public access facilities (e.g., boat launches, trails, docks, accessible amenities). Eligible applicants are public agencies, nonprofits, and tribes; statewide eligibility includes LA County jurisdictions. Cost share is not required but improves competitiveness. Funding may be advanced or reimbursed. Applicants should review WCB guidelines and submit through the online application; awards are continuous and performance is generally tied to the state fiscal year.
