Natural Lands Trust is pleased to be facilitating Green Region, an open space grant program funded by PECO. Recognizing that open space in our communities is a crucial element of the quality of our lives, PECO has committed itself to assisting municipalities in southeastern Pennsylvania with their on-going efforts to plan for, protect, and improve open land. Municipalities can use Green Region grants in combination with other funding sources to cover a portion of the expenses associated with developing and/or supporting their open space programs.
Underlying the program parameters is PECO’s
endorsement of deliberate planning for open space protection
by municipalities as a means to encourage the wisest use of
scarce resources.
Eligible Applicants:
- Any Township, Borough or City that is within PECO's service territory in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Delaware or Chester Counties.
- All incorporated non-profit organizations (such as "Friends of" groups) within the City of Philadelphia.
Application Deadline:
The next grant round will be in Fall, 2010.
