Pennsylvania Game Commission and Fish and Boat Commission this week announced they are accepting project applications for the State Wildlife Grants Program. The deadline for applications is April 7.

The commissions are seeking projects that will help address conservation needs for high-priority conservation projects for endangered, threatened and at-risk species across Pennsylvania.

In 2005, the two agencies awarded more than $1.14 million in State Wildlife Grants funding. Since 2001, Pennsylvania has received $11.9 million through this program.
