About Healthy Ecosystems / Healthy Communities!

The K-State Community PRIDE Program has received special funding to help three PRIDE communities--   
Melvern, Greeley, and Rossville--to develop plans for community improvement and conservation of their natural resources.  A project coordinator from K-State will help each community with the planning processes. 

Knowledge of the resources in your community is a vital element of the Healthy Ecosystems-Healthy Communities project. An appraisal of those resources will help each community balance Poster illustrating common stream and river invertebrates.their use. If a resource, such as water, is disappearing or declining in quality, then a plan may be needed to determine how that resource can be sustained or protected. The plans you and your community develop will assure that the water, soils, plants, and animals in your community will be there for  your children and grandchildren to use and enjoy! 
 

The Healthy Ecosystems-Healthy Communities project of the Kansas PRIDE Program assists communities with a process of civic engagement and resource planning for positive environmental actions and benefits to their natural resources.

Participating communities also receive a $5000 grant to undertake projects they identify as important to protect local natural assets and/or improve the community’s health, economy, and quality of life.  

Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in this process!  Contact Us today for more information.
