CHNEP Economic Valuation Report
CHNEP commissioned The Balmoral Group to conduct an economic valuation and fiscal impact analysis to demonstrate the tangible economic activity arising from its project plan. The results of this study provide a better understanding of the economic activity tied to restoration, conservation and management activities.

Conservation Grants
The CHNEP provides Conservation Grants to support portions of larger projects that implement our Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). Since 2001, CHNEP has offered grants to help establish and maintain environmental education efforts and further partnerships to help implement the CCMP. The cost reimbursement funding is in the $500-$3,000 range. We require at least a 50% match of our funds, but that can be in the form of volunteer hours, in-kind donations, and other non-cash sources. Preference will be given to partners and to projects in communities that have been historically underserved.
Summer Deadline is August 1st, 2022 for a October 2022 award notice
