Grant Programs
Where do grants come from, and how are they used in Alger County?
At Alger Conservation District, we specialize in providing a wide range of community services, including grants. Our team coordinates with state and federal grant programs to identify, plan, and take appropriate action to safeguard Alger County’s natural resources on public and privately held lands.
Our community supports our mission, ensuring a clean, healthy, and vibrant native ecosystem for generations.
