Banta Commends Efforts for Plan to Prepare Watershed Conservation
ERIE – Rep. Jake Banta (R-Erie) today announced the awarding of $43,500 to Washington Township for development of a watershed conservation plan for the 240-acre Edinboro Lake Watershed in Erie County.
"This grant will help ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the Edinboro Lake Watershed," said Banta. "By developing a comprehensive conservation plan, we are taking an important step toward protecting our natural resources, improving water quality and preserving this area for future generations to enjoy. The work completed through this project will provide valuable insights that will guide future conservation efforts in the region. I was pleased to support this project."
The Community Conservation Partnerships Program Grants program is administered by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Bureau of Recreation and Conservation to provide financial and technical assistance to local governments, river and trail organizations, land trusts, and other nonprofits for the planning, acquisition and development of park, recreation, conservation and greenways projects.
