PACD Needs Your Letters of Support
The PACD is in the process of preparing a Growing Greener grant
application for another Technical Assistance Grant to support
the PACD Engineering Assistance Program. We need letters of
support from conservation districts, watershed organizations,
Resource Conservation & Development Councils, and other
partners for the PACD application.
Please help PACD to continue this important program by sending
a letter of support for the PACD Growing Greener grant application
for the PACD Engineering Technical Assistance Program to the
PACD office by February 27, 2004.
Thanks for your support.
