The Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV) is requesting project proposals that restore and conserve habitat necessary to support healthy and productive populations of wild brook trout.
Federal funding available under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will be used to fund top ranked proposals. The maximum award amount for an individual project is $50,000. All proposed projects must be developed in coordination with the nearest Service Sponsoring Office. Guidelines for the use of NFHAP funds by the Service can be found at FWS Policies. All applicants are encouraged to review this guidance. These funds can only be used for on-the-ground habitat conservation projects and related design and monitoring activities. They may not be used for acquisition in fee or easement. All projects must have a minimum of a 1:1 funding from partner contributions. The following are required to apply:
-
Application Form (2017 Project Application Form and 2017 Project Application Instructions)
- Letter of Support from the State Fisheries Management Agency
- Photographs and Photograph Release Form (FWS Photo Release Form)
- Coordination with the Service’s Sponsoring Office
