Thirty Green Grant Awards Wrap Up for 2022
Congratulations to all the 2022 Green Grants that were awarded in June!
We continue to be impressed by the ideas for projects and programs that groups submitted, and the volunteer power and sweat equity that they’re ready to put into action to accomplish goals that will improve our natural and scenic environment. Thank you to all who applied, and for the good work that you’re doing in your communities!
We wish we could fund all the applications — the competition is fierce! It makes the role of our judging panel difficult, and we appreciate their time and expertise.
We also want to give a shout out and a huge THANK YOU to this year’s sponsors, without whom this program would not be possible: Altria, WestRock, and Village Bank!
