Dr. Fred Anliot's Estate Designated Funds in Support of Local Waterways
The Clinton Streamkeepers organization is offering grants from its Sture Fredrik Anliot Fund. This fund is an endowed, restricted gift for the improvement of water quality in the Little Miami River and its tributaries in Clinton and Greene Counties of Ohio.
PICTURED: Dr. Fred Anliot is pictured taking a class through WC's Hazard Arboretum in the mid-1990s.
Dr. Sture Fredrik “Fred” Anliot was a professor of biology at Wilmington College, where he taught for 35 years. Following his death in 2012, Anliot's estate plans designated the establishment of the financial basis for the grant. Highly respected by the science community, including his WC colleagues and students, he studied the watershed extensively, authoring articles and the book, The Vascular Flora of Glen Helen, Clifton Gorge and John Bryan State Park.
The grant funding is available for various amounts for projects related to water quality including, but not limited to stream cleanups, monitoring, buffer strips, wetland restorations and other habitat work. Organizations who may receive the grant can include, but are not limited to, civic groups, environmental organizations, nonprofits, schools or educational institutions, and watershed groups.
Applications are due April 15, 2022, with grants being awarded around April 22. More information, including a downloadable application can be found at http://bit.ly/ccrpcnews.
