natural resource projects that will improve the environment
and natural beauty of Laramie County.
Proposal
guidelines
Funding is available to assist in the
implementation of natural resource projects. All proposals
submitted must identify at least 20% in matching funds.
This match can be either labor or materials. In addition,
the district offers design assistance free of charge.
Proposals
can be submitted by either individuals or groups but must
be for projects that will benefit the community at-large and
on land that is accessible to the public. Projects selected
for funding are implemented the following spring.
Types

The program encourages projects that
benefit the public as a whole. Examples include:
* Tree plantings in public parks, along
Cheyenne Greenway
* Church and cemetery plantings
* Boy, Girl and Eagle Scout projects
* School improvement projects

Deadlines for proposals are September
