Funding available for conservation programs

PENNSYLVANIA — The Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe has announced an invitation for project applications to the State Wildlife Grants Program. These projects will help address conservation needs for high-priority projects for endangered, threatened and at-risk species across Pennsylvania.

The federal dollars for this program are awarded through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s State Wildlife Grants Program (SWG). Project applications must be received by 12:00 noon on Friday, June 13. This year, the Game Commission is requesting applicants submit “Letters of Intent” rather than complete project proposals. Selected applicants then will be invited to submit full proposals. The Game Commission hopes to finalize project selections in September, and award contracts later this year.
