Description
The RC&D Mini-Grant, offered by the First State Resource, Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council and featured by the Delaware Department of Agriculture, provides funding for small-scale projects that advance conservation, community enhancement, and sustainable land stewardship within Delaware. The program aims to improve community forests and green infrastructure, enhancing air and water quality, wildlife habitat, energy efficiency, and property values.

The grant is designed to complement the Delaware Forest Service’s broader urban and community forestry efforts by supporting local, grassroots initiatives.
