Description
The Watershed Advocacy program, administered by The Campbell Foundation, funds initiatives that empower marginalized and overlooked communities to participate in water policy-making and advocacy. The goal is to improve the health and water quality of local streams and rivers by breaking down social and financial barriers to participation in watershed issues. The program seeks innovative projects that build the capacity of frontline stewards and restoration practitioners, foster partnerships among diverse interests, and advance watershed health, with a particular focus on equity and inclusion.
