2012 Program
These funds are used for natural resource conservation on private lands and in these difficult economic times can boost local efforts to address priority issues. Since each dollar from the state reaps at least an equal amount or more in matching funds, this is a great investment for the citizens of Colorado to protect our natural resources. In previous years a ratio of up to 3:1 of matching funds to state funds was realized.
In 2012 twenty-nine projects were originally funded receiving $518,340.
