What Is This Program?

The Bureau of Land Management’s Good Neighbor Authority for Recreation supports partnerships with states, counties, and federally recognized Indian Tribes to carry out recreation enhancement and improvement projects that expand and enhance public recreation opportunities on and near BLM-managed lands. This assistance listing provides a flexible, collaborative approach to improving recreation access and visitor infrastructure, including trails, trailheads, campgrounds, day-use areas, restrooms, parking areas, and other facilities that support public recreation. Projects may be implemented on Federal land, non-Federal land, or Tribal land when they enhance public access, visitor experiences, and recreation opportunities associated with BLM-managed lands and surrounding communities. Although an agreement may allow a cooperating entity to provide National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) services and site surveys, the decision to authorize a project remains the responsibility of the BLM and cannot be delegated.
