Protecting and enhancing the local environment is the aim of a new Environmental Enhancement Grant launching Thursday in Richmond.
The city is calling on all non-profit organizations to apply for the grant, which will help empower local community groups to take positive action on the environment. Steps will include supporting sustainable initiatives such as shoreline clean-ups, invasive species pulls, and tree and shrub planting. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 26.
“Access to nature and healthy, local ecosystems can improve our quality of life—and Richmond residents are a pivotal component of effective environmental stewardship,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “The new City of Richmond Environmental Enhancement Grant will enable registered non-profit organizations, and the businesses and individuals who collaborate with them, to organize events that contribute to enhancing, restoring and conserving Richmond’s natural environment.”
While the grant is only accessible to non-profit organizations, the city encourages private businesses and individuals to work with these community groups to identify and organize environmental activities in their neighbourhoods.
Questions about the Environmental Enhancement Grant can be directed to 604-247-4453 or parksprograms@richmond.ca. To read the rules and guidelines, and to apply, click here.
