DNR Wildlife Habitat Grant application period now open

LANSING —Now through March 15, the Wildlife Habitat Grant Program will be accepting applications, with priority given to projects enhancing game species habitat. 
“We look forward to the opportunity to partner with those who want to increase habitat and enhance existing habitat through the Wildlife Habitat Grant Program,” said Michigan DNR Wildlife Division Chief Jared Duquette. “Healthy and abundant habitats not only benefit wildlife, but also benefit Michigan residents by providing cleaner air and water and by offering spaces to enjoy nature, enhancing physical and mental health.”
The 2022 overall available grant amount is approximately $1 million.   
The grant program application period began Jan. 27. Applications must be submitted through MiGrants no later than March 15 to be considered for funding. Successful grant applications will be announced in May. The detailed program handbook and more information are available at Michigan.gov/Wildlife or Michigan.gov/DNRGrants.
