NEW ROUND OF SWG FUNDING FOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS ANNOUNCED
Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today 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 noon, 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. Also, for the first time, the Wild Resource Conservation Program (WRCP) has explicitly stated that it will be taking a close look at projects that meet Pennsylvania Wildlife Action Plan priorities.
