Project Title: Wetlands and Stormwater Management: A Proactive Approach to Protecting Watershed Health
Fall Grant Award: $8000
Project Summary:
As a grassroots service provider, WWA routinely advises grassroots advocates on wetland advocacy issues through one-on-one consultation; however, there is both a demand and need to provide these specialized services to a wider audience. This proposal requests the seed money to launch an expanded assistance program for grassroots wetland advocates to meet this demand. Specifically, we seek funds to: a) develop web-based resources to help grassroots advocates understand the local wetland permitting decision making processes and how and when to get involved, b) conduct outreach to promote the availability of these resources, and c) provide training to other grassroots service providers to increase their technical understanding, and thus capacity, to advise grassroots advocates on wetland concerns.
