Ash Creek Water Control District

 Ash Creek Water Control Districts Grant Program

The Ash Creek Water Control District (ACWCD) Board of Directors is pleased to invite Central School District educators to apply for a $500 Educational Enrichment Grant for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

We anticipate a wide variety of requests. Special attention will be given to ensure that the awards are in keeping with the stated mission of the ACWCD to develop and maintain a functional stream that provides a reasonable and sustainable balance between effective flood plain management, accurate drainage of agricultural lands, and an appropriate supportive environment for native fish, wildlife, and plants.

The ACWCD has identified strategic objectives within which awards may be granted:

• Developing  a comprehensive understanding of the drainage basin characteristics and stream response to significant rain events.
• Developing a working knowledge of the natural resource issues along the stream as well as how the restoration of native plants and wildlife plays a role.
• Providing public education to increase awareness of flood management and permitting issues.

Important Note - Applicants must fill out, sign, and mail the paper copy of this form by June 30, 2024, to be considered. Grant awards will be notified by August 15, 2024, via the building Principal. Please submit to:
