The Lucas County Natural Resources Assistance Council (NRAC) is seeking nominees to fill two seats on the board that reviews projects for Clean Ohio program funding.
Clean Ohio funds have returned more than $18 million to Lucas County for protecting more than 2,900 acres of open spaces, riparian areas and wetlands.
Projects have included the management of invasive species, restoration of habitats for important flora and fauna and improvements that benefit water quality. In most cases, these spaces offer opportunities for people to connect with and learn about natural areas.
During each round of funding, the 11-member NRAC evaluates applications and recommends funding for projects in Lucas County. The appointees serve three-year terms.
To be a candidate, an applicant must be appointed by one of the following types of organizations:
•Local government
•Conservation or environmental organization
•Municipal park system or park district
•Business, realty, planning agency, or port authority
•Statewide organization representing agriculture or forestry
•Soil and water conservation district.
