Do you have an idea for an environmental project that could benefit your community or the local environment? Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District might be able to help. The Soil & Water Conservation District is accepting applications for its annual Community Conservation Program, through which grants of up to $1,000 are available per project.
Since 2017, Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District has funded a variety of conservation-related initiatives, including seed libraries, pollinator and rain gardens, tree plantings, and citizen science water quality monitoring. This grant opportunity is aimed toward schools, municipal departments, and local community-based organizations such as scouting groups, beautification committees, or other not-for-profits. Projects must be implemented on public land that is open and accessible.
Projects also must be completed by October 30, 2026, to qualify for this year’s funding.
Soil & Water Conservation District staff encourage innovative ideas, inviting all members of the community to apply for a chance to make a meaningful impact. Funds are limited, so be sure to apply early!
Applications can be made through the Community Conservation Program webpage. Those with questions can call (518) 623-3119 or email Theresa Hajos at the Soil & Water Conservation District, [email protected].
