The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is accepting grant applications for its Wild Resource Conservation Program.
WRCP is soliciting grant applications for priorities in the following categories – surveys, research, conservation and management. Detailed priorities within each of these categories will be outlined in the full guidelines document.
It is recommended that projects/grant applications address one of the priorities. However, applications may be accepted that address priorities outlined in the Pennsylvania State Wildlife Action Plan and/or address the needs of plant species or plant communities of concern within the Commonwealth. The applicant should contact the WRCP Agency Coordinator to discuss the project, how it may fit into flora or fauna priorities and potential for funding.
