Description
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s NPS Mini Grant Program supports small, locally sponsored outreach and education projects. The program focuses on local activities rather than a single prescribed project format. Examples include conferences and events, bike tours, and efforts to explore opportunities for forming watershed groups.
These examples illustrate the program’s scope rather than an exhaustive list of supported projects. The program encompasses both organized outreach activities and exploratory work related to watershed groups, with small scale, local sponsorship, and an outreach or education purpose framing the work it supports.
