This grant is specifically designed to build the capacity of state, tribal, and local governments, as well as interstate agencies and intertribal consortia, to develop and refine effective, comprehensive programs for wetland protection and management. Through the Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs), eligible applicants can undertake projects aimed at strengthening their existing wetland initiatives and fostering new, impactful strategies.
