The town of Windham has opened the application window for its watershed protection program. Mary Wicklund, environmental and sustainability coordinator for Windham, said the grant program has existed since 2018 and was created using the excise tax from watercraft registration. the projects applying for the grant must “promote community-based efforts to protect and restore diverse natural resources,” and can include environmental education programs, removal and replacements of noxious vegetation, inventories and monitoring of natural areas, as well as infrastructure improvements that fit with stormwater best management practices.
