This grant is for providing financial assistance to coordinate the Regional Friends Groups Workshop. The primary objective is to significantly increase public outreach, particularly at stations lacking dedicated visitor services staff. The Service is responsible for offering wildlife-oriented recreational opportunities on its lands. Friends Groups play a crucial role by developing and implementing recreational facilities and outreach programs. These initiatives educate the public about the Service, its mission, and valuable natural resources. This funding supports these essential efforts, ensuring that more people learn about and engage with wildlife conservation, especially in underserved areas, ultimately enhancing the Service’s ability to fulfill its mandate for public engagement and recreational access. Availability of additional funds will determine future support.
