WATERSHED GRANTS AVAILABLE

The Kitsap County Department of Community Development recently announced the availability of a second round of the 2009 Watershed Mini–Grant Program.

A total of $2,000 remains available for 2009. Smaller grant applications also are welcome up to $1,000.

To encourage groups new to watershed projects, those that have not received a Watershed Mini-Grant in the past will be given some preference. Projects should benefit a watershed (stream, wetland, lake, etc.) or Puget Sound nearshore environment in unincorporated Kitsap County.

Youth, employee and conservation organizations, neighborhood groups, fishing and service clubs, schools and businesses are encouraged to apply. Applications and information are available on the Kitsap County Web site at www.kitsapgov.com/dcd/nr/stream_team/default.htm. Completed applications must be received by 4:30 p.m., July 1.
