On May 17, the PA Association of Conservation Districts announced the award of nearly $37,000 in grants to support 21 water pollution prevention projects through the Nonpoint Source Pollution Prevention Educational Mini-Grant Program.
“We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the NPS mini-grants. With this funding, conservation districts will be able to focus on topics important to their county. They will teach citizens how they can make a difference for clean water and health soil.” said Brenda Shambaugh, Executive Director for the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts.
Funding for the grants, up to $2,000 each, is provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
