The Water Resources Education Network (WREN) has funding available up to $5,000 to help launch community projects. See the terrific projects we've already funded to get some creative ideas at http://wren.palwv.org/local.html. Use these ideas to develop your own project - No need to re-invent the wheel!
Eligible projects include watershed education projects that build awareness and educate Pennsylvania citizens about their role as environmental stewards to protect, improve, or remediate the watershed from the impacts of polluted runoff, or nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. We give priority to projects that incorporate social marketing concepts and encourage individual or public policy action that will protect and improve local water resources.
Eligible applicants are Pennsylvania partnerships comprised of watershed associations, civic groups, community/public water systems, educational entities such as schools or universities, government entities like cities, townships, boroughs, Environmental Advisory Councils, or municipal authorities, or other governmental or non-governmental organizations. To encourage local leaders to get involved, a municipality is required as a partner.
