Kentucky Community gets EPA Grant for Wetlands Restoration
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation has been awarded a $20,000 grant, through the EPA's Five Star Wetlands Restoration Program, for the Millcreek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project and Outdoor Classroom.
The project goal is to develop a water-focused education program at Millcreek Elementary School by restoring stream and wetlands habitats around the free-flowing, meandering creek on the school grounds. The outdoor classroom will help the environment by improving water quality and increasing aquatic and terrestrial habitats in and along the stream.
"EPA's Five Star Restoration Grant Program will help promote conservation and environmental stewardship in this Kentucky community," said Jimmy Palmer, EPA Regional Administrator. "Community-based projects, such as these, improve environmental awareness among local residents and create lasting relationships for protecting and sustaining wetlands, streams and coasts," as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
