LANSING, MI-- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says $100,000 is available in U.P. deer habitat improvement grants.
Groups eligible for funding include those with a mission to promote wildlife conservation and/or hunting, such as sportsmen’s clubs, conservation districts, land conservancies, industrial landowners with more than 10,000 acres, or private land affiliations where two or more unrelated persons jointly own 400 or more acres.
DNR officials say applicants should strive to meet three primary goals: produce tangible deer habitat improvements, build long-term partnerships between the DNR and outside groups, and showcase the benefits to the public.
Project applications must be postmarked by March 1. Successful applicants will be notified by March 18.
The application is available at michigan.gov/dnr-grants.
