What you need

The Division of Ecological Restoration's (DER) Priority Projects Program supports wetland and river restoration projects that bring significant ecological and community benefits to the Commonwealth. The DER Priority Projects Program Advancement Grant is a funding opportunity to support and advance these active, established projects. 

For this opportunity, DER is interested in funding active, existing Priority Projects and Provisional Projects which are at any stage of development, including dam removal, river restoration and stream crossing upgrades, urban river revitalization, cranberry bog restoration, and coastal and freshwater wetland restoration, or combinations thereof. Project applications will be assessed on demonstrated critical need and urgency for support, capacity to advance restoration work, feasibility of proposed scope of work, likelihood of restoration success, and progress towards environmental justice.
