Recreation and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB)

Since 1964 the RCFB has improved the state's quality of life through its investment of public funds in parks, trails, beaches, boating facilities, wildlife habitat, and natural areas. Established by citizen Initiative 215 in 1964, RCFB helps finance recreation and conservation projects throughout the state. Composed of five citizens appointed by the Governor and three state agency directors, the Board brings together the experiences and viewpoints of citizens and the major state natural resource agencies.
