Description
The State Wildlife Grant (SWG) Program provides Federal
grant funds to help you and your partners implement
programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats,
including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible
activities include planning and conservation
implementation. Planning activities must contribute
directly to the development or modification of your
Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the
Service. Implementation activities are those that you carry
out to execute your Plan. Priority for use of these funds
must be placed on identified species...
of greatest
conservation need (SGCN) and should take into consideration
the relative level of funding available for the
conservation of these species. Ineligible activities
include wildlife education and law enforcement activities,
unless they are a minor or incidental component considered
critical to the success of your project.
