The EPA Wetlands Program Development Grants provides grants to states, tribes and local governments for wetlands restoration and protection projects. The Wetlands Program Development Grants support local stewardship of wetland resources by funding projects for programs to protect, manage and restore wetland resources. State, tribal and local government agencies.
Agencies can use grant fund to develop new wetland protection programs or refine existing programs.
EPA ensures the grant funds are directed toward activities that result in demonstrated progress in improving wetland protection programs. Contact your EPA Regional Wetland Coordinator. For example, in Michigan, the Department of Natural Resources is using its funding to develop procedures for storm water discharge review and coordination, a property owners guidebook to wetlands, and a volunteer wetland monitoring program in the Grand Traverse Bay watershed.
