WILDLIFE GRANTS…The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks Wildlife Diversity Program is now accepting proposals for the Wildlife Diversity Small Grants Program.
The program provides funding for researchers, educators and naturalists for projects focused on native wildlife. Funding for the 2013 Small Grants Program totals $35,000 for education and outreach related to native wildlife species and their habitats.
A wide range of projects have been completed since 1997, ranging from creation of a field guide to the tiger beetles of South Dakota to evaluating the nesting ecology of raptors in the Black Hills. The diverse projects that have been completed in the last 16 years have resulted in numerous publications in scientific journals, popular educational products, and a tremendous amount of new information on native wildlife species and their habitats.
Grant proposals are due by Feb. 15, 2013.
For more information, contact the Wildlife Diversity Program at 605- 773-4345.
