Coldwater Heritage Partnership Now Accepting Grant Applications
|
|
The Coldwater Heritage Partnership this week announced the opening of the Coldwater Conservation Grants Program to protect and conserve the health of Pennsylvania’s coldwater ecosystems. The deadline for applications is December 17. Two grant programs are available:
Coldwater Conservation Planning Grants: These grants are designed to help develop conservation plans that identify the values and threats to the health of our coldwater ecosystems that have naturally reproducing trout. 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 approximately $6,000 to organizations to outline strategies that best conserve and protect our coldwater fisheries. Additional details can be found in the attached grant application.
Coldwater Conservation Implementation Grants: These grants are designed to help implement the numerous projects identified in completed Coldwater Conservation Plans. Since 2003, sixty five Coldwater Conservation Plans have been funded. Many have identified important projects that will protect and conserve coldwater ecosystems.
Projects funded under this category must be identified in an already completed Coldwater Conservation Plan, and must enhance, conserve or protect the coldwater stream for which the plan was completed.
The partnership will award grants averaging approximately $7,000. Additional details about types of projects can be found in the attached grant application.
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.
Applications, guidelines and more information are available at the Coldwater Heritage Partnership website or by contacting PATU Coldwater Resource Specialist Deborah Nardone at 814-359-5233 or by sending email to: c-dnardone@state.pa.us.
