The Trails+ Grant program is a statewide initiative by the New Mexico Outdoor Recreation Division that invests in trails and outdoor infrastructure to support healthy communities, local economies, and long-term access to nature.

Join Program Manager Carl Colonius for an informational webinar to learn about the FY26 Outdoor Recreation Trails+ Grant application. Applications open Nov 1, 2025-January 31, 2026.

This competitive grant funds the planning, development, and improvement of outdoor space, including trails, river parks, wildlife viewing areas, trailheads, signage, and more. The Trails+ Grant supports projects that get people outside, improve access to public lands, and help communities across New Mexico connect with nature in meaningful, sustainable ways. The program prioritizes equitable outdoor access, especially in rural, Tribal, and historically underserved areas, while promoting stewardship of New Mexico’s diverse landscapes.

Since its launch in 2020, ORD has distributed $33.9 million Trails+ Grant awards to support 244 outdoor infrastructure projects across 28 counties.
