The Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants Program provides grants to organizations working on a local level to protect and improve watersheds in the Chesapeake Bay basin, while building citizen-based resource stewardship. Under the 2004 program, 93 projects from across the Bay watershed have been selected to receive nearly $3 million in funding. Primary support for these projects is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; additional support for this year’s program has been provided by the USDA Forest Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Altria, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
