This grant opportunity is about partnering with the Fish and Wildlife Service to carry out agricultural activities on National Wildlife Refuge System lands. The goal is to help wildlife by growing specific crops or maintaining habitats. Instead of receiving money, participants might get to use the land and share in the crop yields. This is a cooperative effort where both the participant and the Service contribute resources.
Who it's for: This program is for individuals and small businesses interested in conducting agricultural practices on National Wildlife Refuge System lands. Participants should be willing to work closely with the Fish and Wildlife Service to support conservation and resource management goals.
