Enjoying the Outdoors is brought to you in partnership with Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District.
The MWCD staff reviewed 20 applications, totaling over $2.5 million, this year during the 2022-2023 grant cycle. Some applications even went through an independent technical review. Members of the MWCD Board of Directors approved up to $1.1 million in grants to ten organizations at the November 18, 2022 meeting.
The grant program is highly competitive. “We again are pleased to invest our resources in these very important projects across the district that match with our growing emphasis on conservation,” said Craig Butler, MWCD Executive Director. “These projects help to prevent costly flooding, minimize soil erosion and nutrient loss from agricultural operations, assist with upgrading essential community services, and preserve and rehabilitate sensitive lands for public use.”
