| What is the Five Star Restoration Program? Past Recipients of Five Star Grants Applying for a Five Star Restoration Grant Grant Writing Resources Technical Resources for Grant Writers and Grant Recipients Contact Information What is the Five Star Restoration Grant Program?The Five Star Restoration Program brings together students, conservation corps, other youth groups, citizen groups, corporations, landowners and government agencies to provide environmental education and training through projects that restore wetlands and streams. The program provides challenge grants, technical support and opportunities for information exchange to enable community-based restoration projects. Funding levels are modest, from $5,000 to $20,000, with $10,000 as the average amount awarded per project. However, when combined with the contributions of partners, projects that make a meaningful contribution to communities become possible. At the completion of Five Star projects, each partnership will have experience and a demonstrated record of accomplishment, and will be well-positioned to take on other projects. Aggregating over time and space, these grassroots efforts will make a significant contribution to our environmental landscape and to the understanding of the importance of healthy wetlands and streams in our communities.For more detailed information on the Five Star Program and other community-based restoration programs, please see: Five Star Restoration Fact Sheet Five Star Brochure (PDF, 6pp, 1 MB) Past Recipients of Five Star GrantsClick on a state in the map or from the list below for more information regarding individual projects within that state
