Keowee-Toxaway Habitat Enhancement Program Funding Available

Qualifying government agencies and non-profits are invited to apply for Duke Energy funds from the utility’s Keowee-Toxaway Habitat Enhancement Program. The program funds projects that create, enhance and protest fish and wildlife habitats along the shores of the lakes Keowee and Jocassee, along with their watersheds.

Among projects eligible: planting native shoreline vegetation, constructing osprey platforms and wood duck boxes, and installing fish attractors to buy property and conservation easements that permanently preserve rare and unique habitats.
