Florida Announces Two Opportunities for Wildlife Grants

*****

Florida’s State Wildlife Grants Program

As part of Florida’s Wildlife Legacy Initiative, the Florida Fish and
Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) manages Florida's State Wildlife Grants
Program. This is a federally-funded matching grants program, which provides
financial support for projects that address conservation needs identified in
Florida’s Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy. Funded projects
typically address conservation of multiple-species or habitats. Visit the
Florida
State Wildlife Grants Program web site for application and submission
instructions:

*****

Nongame Wildlife Grants Program

The Nongame Wildlife Grants Program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission provides competitive grants for research,
management, and education projects that benefit the state’s nongame wildlife
species. Projects must include a clear, specific description of the
anticipated
benefits to nongame species in Florida. Visit the Nongame Wildlife Grants
Program web site at

http://research.myfwc.com/nongame_grants

for program details including eligibility requirements and application
instructions.
