WeConservePA is now accepting applications from land trusts for grants for resource management planning for forest land in conservation easements in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.  The deadline to apply is May 31.

The grant program is intended to explore the ways that land trusts, landowners, and forest professionals might work constructively together to better understand conserved lands and ultimately produce better conservation results on the land, including better forest health, habitat improvement, water resource protection, and sustainable timber production.

Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis through May 31, 2024, or until all project funds are committed, whichever comes first.

The first grants will be awarded on March 11. WeConservePA will award up to $150,000 in total grants for this planning work.
