DCNR will host a November 7 virtual grants workshop to help applicants develop project ideas in preparation for submitting a grant application to the 2025 Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2).

DCNR’s Bureau of Recreation and Conservation staff will present about grant program selection criteria, review current program priorities, and discuss eligible project types.

2025 potential applicants are strongly encouraged to attend. The workshop is especially suited for municipal officials, consultants, board members, trail managers, land trust staff, and park and recreation professionals.

The workshop runs from 9:00 a.m. to noon. A general session for all applicants will begin at 9:00 a.m. Project type-specific breakout sessions will follow.

Applicants should plan on attending both the general session and the breakout session for the project type they plan on applying for.

There will be ample time for project-specific Q&A with DCNR’s professional grant managers and regional advisors.
