Florida’s Wildlife Legacy Initiative appreciates your interest in the State Wildlife Grants Program. The 2012 cycle is closed. The 2013 cycle is expected to open in late summer 2013, with selected projects starting no earlier than July 1, 2014. Updates will be posted on the website, and you may also sign up to receive e-mail notification.
Pending US Fish and Wildlife Service approval, the following projects are recommended for funding to address Legacy’s 2012-2017 goals, which are based on Florida’s Wildlife Action Plan. Affiliations listed are those of the principal investigators, though all projects rely on partnerships for success. Florida’s Wildlife Legacy Initiative appreciates the efforts of those involved in developing these projects.
