FWC announces wildlife grant opportunities

September 16, 2009
Contact: Patricia Behnke, 850-251-2130

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Wildlife Legacy Initiative is now accepting grant applications for the State Wildlife Grants Program for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.

This program is a federally funded matching grants program, providing financial support for projects that address conservation needs as identified in Florida's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy. This year's criteria focus on the Legacy Initiative's priority habitats and filling in gaps on species of greatest conservation need. Preference will be given to projects addressing multiple species, partnerships and climate change issues for Florida's fish and wildlife and their habitats.

Submission deadline is Oct. 15 at 5 p.m.

Visit MyFWC.com/WildlifeLegacy for more information on Florida's State Wildlife Grants Program, including detailed criteria, application and submission instructions.
