The PA Environmental Council is now accepting applications for its 2018 Pocono Forests and Waters Conservation Mini-Grants Program.  Applications are due May 1.

PEC was awarded a grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to administer this program to provide mini-grants of $2,000 to $10,000 to projects that support and advance the objectives of the Pocono Forests and Waters Conservation Landscape Initiative.

Project applicants within Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties are eligible.

All mini-grants require a 1 to 1 match. PEC and DCNR encourage any municipality, council of governments, registered Pennsylvania nonprofits, county conservation districts, or learning institutions to consider projects that may meet the grant criteria.
