Through the Challenge Cost Share Program (CCSP), the NPS assists and supports the work of its partners. The types of projects are wide-ranging, but always related to national historic trails. These include projects involving original research on trail-related topics, development of outdoor wayside exhibits, resource preservation activities, or creation of educational materials.
