Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP)

The PA DEP’s Growing Greener Plus Grants Program funds watershed planning, restoration, and protection efforts. The two grant programs that comprise Growing Greener Plus are Growing Greener (Watershed Restoration and Protection) and the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act Grants, otherwise known as SMCRA (Bond Forfeiture) Grants. All applications must be submitted through the Commonwealth’s eGrants system.

May 31, 2024, is the deadline for all Growing Greener Grant applicants to contact the appropriate PA DEP staff, as well as your County Conservation District Watershed Specialist, to discuss your anticipated project.

Grant application deadline is June 21, 2024.
