FY 2010 Request For Fish & Wildlife Project Proposals

Dec 21: The Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act of 2006 (GLFWRA) Grant Program provides Federal grants on a competitive basis to states, tribes and other interested entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration and management of fish and wildlife resources and their habitat in the Great Lakes basin. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting project pre-proposals that focus on the restoration of fish and/or wildlife resources and their habitats in the Great Lakes Basin. Supported in part by President Obama’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), a total of $8 million will be available to support projects this fiscal year. This represents the largest amount appropriated for this effort since the grants program began in 1998. Pre-proposals are due on Friday, January 22, 2010, by 11 PM EST.
