Application period open for UP Deer Habitat grants

MARQUETTE, MI— The Department of Natural Resources has up to $100,000 available in Upper Peninsula Deer Habitat Improvement Partnership grants.

The program is designed to enhance deer habitat on private lands in the U.P. The maximum amount of individual grants is $15,000 and the minimum is $2,000.

DNR officials say the projects should produce tangible deer habitat improvements, build long-term partnerships between the DNR and outside organizations, and showcase the benefits to the public.

The deadline to apply is March 14. The complete grant application package is available on the DNR website at Michigan.gov/DNR-Grants.

For more information or questions regarding eligibility, please contact Bill Scullon at 906-250-6781 or ScullonH@michigan.gov.
