Yahara WINS: Now Accepting Grant Applications For Innovative Phosphorus Projects
Applications accepted through March 31
The Yahara Watershed Improvement Network, or Yahara WINS, is now accepting grant applications from area organizations for innovative, low-cost projects that will help reduce the amount of phosphorus in local waterways. Excessive phosphorus can cause dangerous and unsightly algae blooms in local lakes, rivers and streams, reduce water quality and harm aquatic life.
“Improving the quality of our local waterways through phosphorus reduction requires collaborative, adaptive and innovative approaches” says Martye Griffin, president, Yahara WINS executive committee. “Our grant program is designed to encourage big-picture thinking to help reduce phosphorus pollution by minimizing the risks and costs associated with testing and implementing new ideas.”
