The grant money was awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Community Conservation Partnerships Program. The issued grants include:
- $300,000 for Hummelstown Borough to make improvements to the Hummelstown Nature Trail, which will include renovations to the loop trail, boardwalk and parking area.
