River Parkways and Urban Stream Restoration Grant(s) Deadline

Wed, Nov 12th 2008, all day
The Resources Agency (Agency) and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) collaborated in preparing this combined grant application process for the River Parkways (RP) and Urban Streams Restoration (USR) grant programs. The intent is to provide applicants the opportunity to submit one application package for these two programs, which have similar goals and objectives. However, since there are differences between the programs, grantees are encouraged to read the guidelines thoroughly. Once awards are determined, Agency will continue to administer RP grants and DWR will continue to administer USR grants.

River Parkways: (1) protecting and restoring riparian and riverine habitat; and (2) directly improving the quality of life in California by providing important recreational, open space, wildlife, flood management, water quality, and urban waterfront revitalization benefits to communities in the State.

Urban Streams Restoration: (1) reducing property damage caused by flooding or erosion; (2) restoring, enhancing, or protecting the natural ecological values of streams; and (3) promoting community involvement, education, or stewardship.
