Description:
The
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Wildlife Habitat Council, in
cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest
Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, FedEx, Southern Company, and BNSF
Railway are pleased to solicit applications for the 2020 Five Star and Urban
Waters Restoration program. The program seeks to help communities develop the
capacity to sustain local natural resources for future generations, with a
focus on improving water quality, watersheds, and the species and habitats they
support. Projects eligible for grants include a variety of ecological
improvements along with targeted community outreach, education, and
stewardship. Ecological improvements may include one or more of the following:
wetland, riparian, forest and coastal habitat restoration; wildlife
conservation, community tree canopy enhancement, water quality monitoring and
green infrastructure best management practices for managing runoff. Projects
should increase access to the benefits of nature, reduce the impact of
environmental hazards, and engage local communities, particularly underserved
communities, in project planning, outreach and
implementation.
