Mass Wildlife Announces $300k in Habitat Management Grants
For the second year in a row Mass Wildlife is awarding grants to support private and municipal efforts to manage conservation lands for the benefit of wildlife. The goal of the Mass Wildlife Habitat Management Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to private and municipal landowners of conserved lands to support active habitat management and expand public recreation on these lands. The program also aims to improve habitat for game species, to manage habitat for Species of Greatest Conservation Need as identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (with special emphasis on State-Endangered and State-Threatened Species), and to expand public recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, trapping, and other wildlife-associated activities on conserved lands. The application period is now open with a proposal deadline of November 15, 2016. Details on how to apply for the Mass Wildlife Habitat Management Grant are posted at mass.gov/dfw/habitat-grant .
To get a sense of what active management actually looks like on the ground, join us for one of our upcoming public site walks. These walks, led by Mass Wildlife biologists, ecologists, and foresters, will showcase the work done by Mass Wildlife's Habitat Program. These walks allow the public to learn about the management occurring on state lands, to learn why different management practices are chosen, and to understand the resulting impacts on wildlife.
