This grant opportunity, likely offered by a department aligned with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), is designed to fund crucial scientific monitoring of Spalding’s catchfly populations in Montana. The core purpose of this grant is to complete three years of baseline data collection at specific Key Conservation Areas (KCAs) like Sullivan Gulch and Crosson Valley/Sullivan Hill. This monitoring is mandated by the species’ Recovery Plan and associated guidelines. By demonstrating population trends, the collected data will directly support decision-making for the plant’s recovery, aligning with the Endangered Species Act of 1973. This initiative is essential for long-term conservation efforts.
