Program funds will be dispersed for the purpose of providing stewardship to state parks; state lands and wildlife management areas; to support local parks and trails; and to protect critical conservation lands. Eligible applicants include qualified local governments (as determined by the Department of Community Affairs), constituted recreation authorities, state agencies, and nongovernmental entities with a core mission of conservation.

Pre-applications will be accepted August 1 - October 16, 2020 for Conserve Georgia grants and loans through the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program.
