The EPA is offering this grant to advance its national wetland program goals, which include increasing the quantity and quality of wetlands across the U.S. by conserving acreage and improving conditions. 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. The primary purpose is to empower governmental entities with the resources needed to enhance their wetland conservation and restoration efforts, ultimately contributing to healthier aquatic ecosystems nationwide.
