The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the federal-state Chesapeake Bay Program partnership today announced $2.5 million in new grants for 10 Pennsylvania-based projects that will protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding watershed. The $2.5 million grants announced today, when combined with the $8.5 million in grants announced earlier this year, will together generate $20 million in grantee match. When all combined, these funds will have a conservation impact of more than $31 million in Pennsylvania.

The new PA-MEB grant program is one of the three core programs under NFWF’s Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund<https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=smhrSn4curymvTEjTt3cxsrbhWHPup8qfTaS56LOren9-FYFdmZha9LJokKBs_cxXJnPrlOmjrCHwCNc54-BuYd1wISU713UMEYQ4iNtj_8RlGqfKu1xYKQf-2wwaIQVc816HPJdoWo0Pb2JkNsVbinvviSxW-EEmNItSDWZGBk=> (CBSF).
