Enhancing Water Quality and Biodiversity Through the Parks and Natural Resources Fund

The Parks and Natural Resources Fund supports the protection, restoration, and maintenance of natural habitats and water quality through targeted grants and operational funding. The initiative allocates 65% to grants aimed at conservation projects, habitat restoration, and community involvement, while 35% finances essential operations. The fund aims to remedy limiting factors affecting ecosystems, develop strategies for invasive species, maintain biodiversity, and engage the public in conservation efforts, ultimately enhancing the quality of our natural resources for future generations.
