?We are excited to support those who want to increase habitat and enhance existing habitat through the Wildlife Habitat Grant Program,? said DNR Wildlife Division Chief Jared Duquette.? ?Healthy and abundant habitats not only benefit wildlife, but also benefit Michigan residents.?

Funding is available for local, state, federal and tribal governments, profit and nonprofit groups, and individuals through an open, competitive process. The minimum grant amount is $15,000, and the maximum is the total amount of funds available for the grant cycle, which is?approximately $1 million for 2023.???

The Wildlife Habitat Grant Program, which began in October 2013, is funded from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.
