The deadline for submitting Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) applications is Jan. 15.
The LARE program strives to protect and enhance aquatic habitat for fish and wildlife while ensuring the continued usage of Indiana's publicly accessible lakes, rivers, and streams. This is accomplished through measures that reduce nonpoint sediment and nutrient pollution.
Technical and financial assistance for qualifying projects is provided to applicants through the LARE program. Qualifying projects can include logjam removal, streambank stabilization, and wetland creation, to name a few. To view a full list of qualifying project types, along with additional LARE information, see lare.dnr.IN.gov.
Applicants are encouraged to reach out to LARE staff regarding potential projects ahead of the application deadline.
