Thanks
to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s continued support
for conservation district educational projects, PACD is ready to open a new
round of Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Prevention Educational Mini-grants!
Grants
up to $2,000 are awarded to conservation districts for adult educational
projects that offer strategies for reducing and preventing Nonpoint Source
(NPS) Pollution. Projects should stimulate a local awareness of water quality
issues, promote the theme “We All Live Downstream,” and encourage citizen
participation in activities to improve water quality in local watersheds.
The deadline for NPS mini-grant applications is April 26, 2019. Click here for the online application and more information. Questions should be directed to Shannon Wehinger.
Financial
and other support for the NPS Mini-grant Program is provided by the
Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of
the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
