Conservation Grants Available
The Great Bay Resource Protection Partnership announced grant applications are now available for their fall 2019 Land Protection Grant Program. The matching grants program assists with the costs for permanent land protection projects (donation and/or acquisition of full fee and conservation easements) within the coastal watershed area of New Hampshire and Maine. Qualified nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) conservation organizations, municipalities, and units of government may apply for a grant.
Applications must be postmarked by October 18, 2019. Grant instructions and the application form are available on the Great Bay Resource Protection Partnership website (linked below).
Conserving a network of undeveloped natural lands in the coastal watershed is critical to maintain clean water, protect significant habitats and ecosystems, support healthy wildlife populations, protect agricultural and forestry resources, and provide quality recreational opportunities. The purchase or donation of land or conservation easements often requires funding for transaction expenses (e.g., appraisals, land surveys, recording fees). The Land Protection Transaction Grant Program assists with the costs of conserving the most significant lands in the coastal watershed.
