There’s still time to apply for Community Conservation Grants

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—Applications are being accepted for grants for schoolyard and community environmental projects offered by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) and the Grand River Conservation Foundation (GRCF).

The two organizations are offering Community Conservation Grants in two categories:

• Community groups can receive up to $1,000 for conservation projects that are tangible and available for use or benefit of the entire community. Previous recipients have built a river access point, carried out habitat restoration, and planted trees.
• Elementary schools in the Grand River watershed can receive up to $750 to support greening projects, such as schoolyard naturalization and tree/shrub plantings.
