The Maine Association of Conservation Commissions and the Maine Land Trust Network are co-sponsoring a workshop designed to improve your chances of successfully obtaining funding from three major conservation grant programs in Maine.
The three include:
The Maine Natural Resources Conservation Program. MNRCP provides funding for wetlands restoration, enhancement and preservation,
thus is a good source for open space acquisition funds.
The Recreational Trails Program. RTP is an excellent source of funding
for trail building projects, including design, materials and labor.
Project Canopy. This Maine Forest Service program provides funds to
towns for both forest management and shade tree planting.
In addition, information will also be presented regarding Land for Maine’s Future
grants and various private foundation grant sources.
The workshops will be held on the following schedule:
Augusta, April 15th, Augusta City Hall
Scarborough, May 5th, Scarborough Public Library
Both workshops will start promptly at 5:30 and end by 7:30. A light meal will
be provided. The participation fee will be $20 for MEACC and MLTN members
and $30 for non-members, payable by purchase order or at the door. Please
register at least seven days in advance of each workshop
