The Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area is now accepting applications for Schuylkill River Restoration Fund Grants to support local Water Quality Improvement Projects and Land Transaction grants. 

Water Quality

Eligible applicants include government agencies and nonprofit organizations.  The deadline to apply is February 15.

The grants focus on three major sources of pollution: stormwater runoff, agricultural pollution and abandoned mine drainage.

Land Transaction

The Schuylkill River Restoration Fund is offering matching grants of up to $4,000 per project to assist with transaction costs for permanent land protection projects (conservation easements, full fee acquisitions, donations) within the Schuylkill River watershed - the largest tributary to the tidal Delaware River and Bay.

Applications are due April 18.

The Schuylkill River Restoration Fund was created in 2006 through a unique public/private partnership between Exelon Nuclear, the Delaware River Basin Commission and the Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area.
