LWVLMR receives 2nd Coastal Management Grant

NATIVE PLANTS HELP CLEAN WATER, NATURALLY!

We are thrilled to have learned that we will be able to continue spreading that message with the aid of an Illinois Department of Natural Resources Coastal Management Mini-Grant! The grant will fund the development and production of outreach materials and one or more mobile workshops in summer of 2016.  We are extremely grateful for this opportunity!

Materials will be available for no cost to the local Leagues in the Illinois Coastal Zone, and to other LWVLMR member Leagues at cost.  We look forward to working again with local Leagues on this project.  More information about this project will be available early in 2016.

The LWVIL Education Fund will administer the grant.  This is the second coastal management grant LWVILEF and LWVLMR have received; the first funded the first phase of the Stormwater Education project through 2014.
