TWRA offering grants for stream clean up and planting projects
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency announces the availability of $20,000 in grant funding to assist cities, schools, community organizations, civic groups, watershed organizations, and conservation groups with stream clean-up and planting projects during the 2023-24 fiscal year.
Five grants, at a maximum of $1,000 each, are available for each of TWRA’s four regional Aquatic Habitat Protection projects (a total of $5,000 per region).
The funds will be obligated as grants, so the grantee must have a nonprofit tax number.
The application deadline for this program is June 30.
For more information on the program, contact Della Sawyers in the TWRA Environmental Services Division at 615- 781-6577 or by email at della.sawyers@tn.gov.
For additional local information, contact a regional aquatic habitat protection biologist at the TWRA regional offices.
TWRA regional offices are Region I (West Tennessee) in Jackson; Region II (Middle Tennessee) in Nashville; Region III (Cumberland Plateau, Chattanooga area) in Crossville); and Region IV (East Tennessee) in Morristown.
