Louisiana has doubled the state money available for nonprofit groups to preserve and restore public lands of historic, environmental or recreational importance.
Louisiana Outdoors Forever was allotted $2 million by the state legislature for the 2027 grant application cycle, which starts this week. That’s up from $1.07 million in 2026 and the largest amount set aside for the program since it began in 2022.
