The State Coastal Conservancy is announcing a Request for Proposals for the 2019-2020 Community Wetland Restoration Grant Program (CWRGP). The Program provides grants of $20,000 to $30,000 for community-based restoration projects in coastal wetlands and watersheds in the southern California region. The purpose of the CWRGP is to further the goals of the Wetland Recovery Project's (WRP) Regional Strategy 2018; build local capacity to plan and implement wetland restoration projects; promote community involvement in wetland restoration activities; and foster education about wetland ecosystems. The Program information, application guidelines, and application template are posted on the WRP's website under the Community Wetland Restoration Grants Program section of the website.

The proposal due date for the 2019 Community Wetland Restoration Grant Program is February 15, 2019.
