Through a lightning round format, representatives from the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) will provide an overview of funding opportunities such as the Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition (OSWA) and Urban Green and Community Garden (UGCG) Grant Programs, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, coastal resilience initiatives, and more.
