Started in 2007 by then District Manager, Cathy Paradise, the Brown County SWCD wanted to give back to the community when outside funding became less and less available. This unique program allows Brown County residents to apply for cost-share money to help them achieve their conservation goals.
Past Conservation Mini Grants have included:
invasive species control
planting buffer strips
installing water bars on trails
building compost bins
creating pollinator habitat
assisting with creating a rotational grazing plan
planting native species
creating a rain garden
installing water catchment devices (rain barrels and/or IBC totes)
building a hoop house
etc!
You can download a copy of the Conservation Mini Grant Application then drop it off or mail it to our office, or you can stop in and pick up a physical copy.
Office Hours are Monday - Friday, 8am to 4pm. Our physical address is 802 Memorial Dr, Nashville. Mailing address: BCSWCD Po Box 308 Nashville IN 47448.
Once you have submitted your Conservation Mini Grant Application to the office, BCSWCD Staff will be in contact with you to ask clarifying questions and/or to workshop your conservation ideas and goals to help make your application the strongest application it can be before it goes to the BCSWCD Board of Supervisors for Review. Applications are now accepted year round and reviewed monthly.
**SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO THE BCSWCD OFFICE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUNDING. PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
