Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper has announced a new funding opportunity to support environmental restoration within the Niagara River/Lake Erie watershed. The Western New York Great Lakes Restoration Grant Program, which is funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, will award grants ranging from $25,000 to $500,000 for community projects focused on addressing invasive species, stormwater runoff, or habitat restoration.
“Protecting and restoring the Great Lakes starts locally," said EPA Great Lakes National Program Director Teresa Seidel. "The Western New York Great Lakes Restoration Grant Program ensures that communities in New York within Lake Erie’s eastern basin have the necessary opportunities and support to successfully implement projects in support of the GLRI.”
