Townships, conservation districts, and municipal authorities are eligible to apply through July 1, 2024, for projects intended to protect and conserve biological diversity. This grant round has specific priorities for birds, mammals, plants, fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. More information on these priorities, along with how to apply, can be found on DCNR’s grants portal.
