Description
This opportunity, offered by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under the Resilience through Restoration (Outcome 3) program, provides funding for the design and permitting of habitat restoration projects that address erosion and flooding on public lands and within local communities across Maryland. The program aims to enhance ecosystem health and community resilience by supporting planning and engineering efforts for nature-based and green infrastructure projects that mitigate the impacts of severe weather, sea level rise, and increased flooding. Construction projects are not eligible for funding in this cycle due to current funding limitations.
