Monroe County Conservation District conducted outreach using a rain simulator as part of a nonpoint source pollution prevention educational mini-grant in 2017.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Eighteen projects in 17 counties were selected for funding, totaling more than $34,000 for the 2018 round of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Prevention Mini-grant Program for Conservation Districts. The program is administered by PACD and funding is provided through the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).<\/p>\r\n

\u201cPACD is thrilled to work with DEP to fund projects across the Commonwealth. This funding will allow districts to educate citizens about their part in reducing nonpoint source pollution,\u201d said PACD Executive Director Brenda Shambaugh. \u201cThe result will be cleaner water and healthier soil for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
