Conservation groups and local governments have been chosen to receive grant money from the Duke Energy Foundation.
The shareholder-funded grants will help the recipients with environmental initiatives to enhance parks and greenways, help natural habitats thrive, and expand outdoor recreational and educational opportunities.
The Covered Bridge Gateway Trails Association in Parke County received $2,000 to extend Park Community Rail Trail. The grant will support the association's construction of a bridge to connect portions of the Parke Community Rail Trail, which is being built on the former Pennsylvania Railroad right of way between Rosedale and Rockville. When completed, the trail will be about 10 miles long, providing a safe place for residents to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
