2003 Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants

The Chesapeake Bay Small
Watershed Grants Program
provides grants to
organizations working on a
local level to protect and
improve watersheds in the
Chesapeake Bay basin,
while building citizen-based
resource stewardship.

Under the 2003 program, 75
projects from across the
Bay watershed have been
selected to receive $2.75
million in funding. Primary
support for these projects is
provided by the U. S.
Environmental Protection
Agency; additional support
for this year's program has
been provided by the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
the USDA Forest Service,
the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service, the
Department of the Interior's
Office of Surface Mining and
