Eligible project sponsors include local and tribal governments, counties, municipal conservation commissions, soil and water conservation districts, and private nonprofit organizations. Applicants may request up to $200,000 for projects that include scoping, design, and construction and must include a minimum of $5,000 of local match. Applications must be received by January 19, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. local time to be considered.
