The KLTC will hold a free in-person meeting on Tuesday, May 14 at the Paul Sawyier Public Library in Frankfort focusing on developing successful applications for Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund grants, including requirements for applications, advantageous partnerships, how to maximize KHLCF funding, and examples of successful projects. The KLTC would like to see multiple groups take advantage of this funding opportunity. It is important to show officials that there is a demand for conservation funding!

Additional information will be presented on the Kentucky Ohio River Regional Recreation Authority (KORRRA) and Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) projects that were also part of recent legislation. There will also be time to network with other conservation groups.
