Boots on the ground keep nature nearby
In 2006, the Metro Council approved a two-year, $1 million grant program to restore or enhance nature in urban areas around the region. Funds for the program were provided by Metro excise taxes collected on solid waste disposal during the last several years.
To date, Metro has awarded $1.23 million to support 42 nonprofit community groups, schools, businesses and local government agencies responsible for 64 projects in the region. Because some recipients were required to have matching funds, the total value of the grants awarded thus far is $4.6 million and counting.
This program engages citizens of all ages and backgrounds in the restoration and enhancement of their natural surroundings and helps keep nature in all our communities for this generation and those to come.
