Please join us on Wednesday, July 18th at noon for a NFWF Project Spotlight, “Working with Private Consultants in the Ag Sector.”
Join NFWF and a team of agriculture specialists who will share lessons learned from grant projects aimed at engaging private consultant firms in high density animal production regions of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The projects being spotlighted are:
- “Whole Farm Conservation Including Forested Buffers (PA)” with Stroud Water Research Center, supported by US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program’s Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants Program, the U.S. Forest Service, NRCS, and Alcoa
- “Working with Ag Retailers to Increase Nutrient Use Efficiency and Improve Water Quality on Delmarva” with The Nature Conservancy, supported by US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program’s Small Watershed Grants Program
The presentation will be held as a webinar: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7496461872890572801
Hope to see you there!
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Project Spotlight series is an effort to share lessons learned, challenges and opportunities in implementation through discussions with grantees who have recently completed a grant project. Grantees with expertise in a common topic join together to reflect on their experiences and answer audience questions.
The US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) has a long‐standing partnership, through a cooperative agreement, with the National Fish and Wildlife (NFWF) to provide direct financial support to accomplish both:
‐ The Small Watershed Grant (SWG) program that promotes community‐based efforts to develop conservation strategies to protect and restore the diverse natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay.
‐ The Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction (INSR) grant program that support efforts with the Chesapeake Bay watershed to accelerate nutrient and sediment reductions with innovative, sustainable, and cost‐effective approaches.
