The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Indiana has announced its awarding $7.9 million for the Kankakee Watershed Initiative.
The initiative, led by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture and funded by the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), brings together Indiana, Illinois, and more than 43 partners to improve the overall health of the Kankakee and Iroquois watersheds.
The goal of the initiative is to reduce nutrient runoff and address excess water by implementing ag and forest land conservation practices and voluntary establishing wetland easements.
