2004 Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants

The Chesapeake Bay Small
Watershed Grants Program
promotes community-based
efforts to develop and
implement conservation
strategies to protect and
restore the diverse natural
resources of the Chesapeake
Bay and its watershed.

The program provides grants
to local governments and
community organizations
working to improve the
condition of their local
watersheds while building
citizen-based resource
stewardship.

The program has been
designed to encourage the
sharing of innovative ideas
among the many organizations
wishing to be involved in
watershed protection
activities.
