school administrators, community
organizations, and natural resource
agencies, including:
- Water quality
monitoring and protection
- Stream
restoration
- Invasive species
control
- Maintaining open
space for public use
- Wetlands
protection and restoration
- Protecting and
restoring declining fish and wildlife
populations
