Description
Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) uses State and Regional Partnerships Grants to work with multi-municipal, regional, and statewide organizations on recreation, conservation, and heritage priorities beyond a single community. Projects may convene partners, provide education or training, undertake special-purpose planning, or put completed plans into action.
The program can also support mini-grant programs and work connected to state-designated Heritage Areas and Conservation Landscapes. Its emphasis is on partnerships that coordinate organizations and communities across a region or larger landscape.
