Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a federal assistance program administered by the National Park Service (NPS) at the federal level. The NPS provides the LWCF matching grants to the States, and through the States to local governments, for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Funds for the program are derived from sales of federal surplus, a small portion of federal motorboat fuel taxes, and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) revenues from the leasing of oil and gas sites in coastal waters. In Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department administers the fund at the state level through its Division of State Parks. LWCF is a reimbursable 50/50 matching grant.
