The Chesapeake Bay Trust will be hosting information sessions about the Anne Arundel County Watershed Restoration and Forestry Grant Program in December and January! This grant program supports the reduction of pollutants flowing into our local waterways, implementation of cost-effective reforestation and greening efforts, and the increase of protected forested land.
We will be hosting two information sessions: Tuesday, December 1 at 6:30pm and Wednesday, January 13 at 12:30pm. The same information will be shared at both sessions, so you only need to attend one!
