Promoting community and quality of life
Promoting environment improvements

Notes:

While the goals of the LWCF remain the same, the role of the 38,000 projects that have been funded through the program since 1965 has been augmented to reflect the broader benefits these places provide our communities. Today, instead of just providing a place for recreation we now also say we are providing contact to nature, promoting health, stimulation, togetherness, introspective, quality of life, and environment improvements.

These benefits are reflected in our new brochures and have even helped in the conception of the new LWCF logo.
