Coldwater Conservation Grants Program Now Accepting Applications

The Coldwater Heritage Partnership is now accepting applications for its Coldwater Conservation Grants Program to protect and conserve the health of Pennsylvania's coldwater ecosystems.

Applications are due December 18.

The CHP is a cooperative effort of Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Fish and Boat Commission and the Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds.

The grants are designed to help organizations develop conservation plans that identify the values and threats to the health of our coldwater ecosystems. The collected information can be used as a catalyst for more comprehensive planning, or for development of watershed improvements projects.

The partnership will award grants averaging $6,000 to organizations to interested in conserving and protecting our coldwater fisheries.
