Apply for water improvement grants

Through April 2, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is accepting applications for a grant designed to help locally-led groups develop water quality improvement efforts in their communities. Groups can request Watershed Planning Grants from $10,000 to $50,000 to develop plans to improve a local river, lake or stream on the state’s impaired waters list. For application materials and additional details, visit http://watershed.iowadnr.gov or contact Stephen Hopkins at 515-281-6402.
