The Massachusetts office of Energy and Environmental Affairs is seeking applications for three groups of Conservation Grants through its Division of Conservation Services (DCS).
Grants are available for the fiscal year 2014 for Conservation Assistance for Small Communities, Parkland Acquisition and Renovations for Communities (PARC), Local Acquisitions for Natural Diversity (LAND), and Conservation Partnership grants.
Conservation Assistance grants provide reimbursement funding to small municipalities to prepare Open Space and Recreation Plans and/or appraisals (requirements for other DCS grant programs). PARC grants help communities to acquire parkland, develop new parks, and renovate existing parks. LAND grants provide funds to municipal conservation commissions for the purchase of conservation land and conservation restrictions. Conservation Partnership grants provide funds to nonprofit organizations for land acquisitions.
Conservation Assistance applications are due by May 31, PARC and LAND grants applications are due by July 17, and Conservation Partnership applications are due by July 22.
