Iowa City, Iowa --  Environmental Advocates (EA) is accepting
applications for its spring 2002 grants program. Proposed projects
should show clear environmental benefits to the Johnson County area
through either action or education. Projects should also support EA's
overall mission of making our local environment cleaner, safer and
more life-sustaining.

Priority will given to one-time grants; applications for yearly
support for continuing projects are discouraged. Priority also will
be given to persons who are EA members. Approximately $750 in grants
will be awarded, with a maximum award of $500 for any one project.
Applications are due March 1.

A fall 2001 EA grant was awarded to ECHO program students to attend
an IOWATER water quality monitoring conference. A grant was also made
to the Johnson County Conservation Board for books for the Kent Park
library.

environmental issues. The grants program was initiated in 1999.
