The Village of Lynchburg partnered with the Lynchburg Area Recreational Committee, in 2009, to apply for a nature works grant that would allow the community to receive funding for a playground. Lynchburg was awarded the ODNR grant in the amount of $23,515. The proposed site has been prepared for excavation and the Playground Equipment is on its way. The proposed completion is April, and the project is on schedule.

On January 29th, Lisa Kiley, with Clinton Co Regional Planning, met with Village Officials to begin the application process for 2010 Nature Works funding. Lisa, assisted in the application process for the previously awarded grant. Lynchburg will be requesting $14,200 for a proposed Shelter House, which will be situated near the corner of Pearl and Sycamore near the New Playground. Community donations of money, time, knowledge, and labor from the local citizens and groups have been greatly appreciated and helps drive the continued success of local projects like this.
