KDWP Offering Small Grants Related to Wildlife Diversity, Non-game Species
PRATT – The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has offered financial assistance to parties carrying out projects focused on conserving and improving wildlife diversity in Kansas for nearly 43 years, and that tradition is carrying on in 2023.
KDWP’s Ecological Services staff are accepting proposals for the Chickadee Checkoff Small Grants Program through March 3, 2023. Eligible projects must focus on wildlife diversity and native non-game wildlife species while addressing the issues and strategies within the Kansas State Wildlife Action Plan (view here ksoutdoors.com/Services/Kansas-SWAP).
“Since 1980, we’ve been able to fund a variety of educational, research-based, and habitat projects related to non-game species, thanks to donations received through Chickadee Checkoff,” said Daren Riedle, KDWP wildlife diversity coordinator. “By making small grants available from these donations, we’re then able to utilize the talents and expertise of our conservation partners to be a true force for nature in Kansas.”
Interested parties have until March 3, 2023 to submit a completed grant proposal.
