The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will host three virtual workshops in November for potential applicants for Community Conservation Partnership Grants.

Anyone interested in applying for Community Conservation Partnerships Program grants in 2022 is strongly encouraged to attend the three virtual workshops

The workshops will be held--

-- November 4: Eastern counties

-- November 10: Central counties

-- November 16: Western counties

Click on the links above to register.  Space in each workshop is limited.

Breakout sessions will provide time for project-specific Q&A with professional grant managers. New this year, statewide and regional partnership grants will be a breakout session at the workshop.

Even though the application period is a few months away, it’s never too early to contact your regional advisor to discuss your project idea and ways to make it more competitive for state grants.
