REAP Assembly and Grant Q & A Webinar

Description

Michelle Wilson with the Iowa DNR will present about this year's REAP Assemblies, how to get involved, meet grant review committee members and learn what makes a "good" REAP project.  She will also be available for Q & A ahead of the August deadline for the REAP grants for City Parks & Open Spaces.  

Please consider attending one of the Assemblies to share ideas for how Iowa’s premier funding program for outdoor recreation, conservation and historic preservation can assist your county and communities.  

Established in 1989, the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program has funded nearly $430 million for projects that have included water quality improvements, habitat protection, roadside prairies, historical development, park and trail development, and conservation education. Check out REAP County Expenditure Data to discover projects close to where you live.  

Every two years, Iowans gather for Regional Assemblies to direct the future of our state’s natural and cultural resources.  This year we are reimagining the Assembly by putting local voices and proven projects that have transformed our communities and improved quality of life at the center of the conversation. This is your chance to learn about REAP, connect with like-minded citizens who are interested in natural and cultural resource work, and voice how REAP can better serve your community and your region.
