The Association of Vermont Conservation Commissions is now accepting 2017 Tiny Grants Program applications.
Applications
are due by April 14,
2017.
The grants range from $250-600 and the goals of
the program are to help conservation commissions advance their missions in a
number of ways, including: 1) Assist local committees/groups to become
Conservation Commission; 2) to increase the functioning capacity of existing
Conservation Commissions; and 3) to provide seed money and/or matching funds
for specific projects in the broad categories of land conservation, education
and outreach, stewardship and management, and planning.
Last year, AVCC awarded grants to groups in Bolton, Greensboro,
Wallingford, Dummerston, and Bradford. Projects included a floodplain forest
inventory project, establishing a pollinator corridor, outdoor education
programs connecting kids with nature, improving a town forest trail network,
and improving access to a natural area for Vermonters of all abilities.
