U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced that the State Wildlife Grants (SWG) program would be distributing $48 million nationwide to support imperiled species and habitats listed in approved state wildlife action plans. Texas state wildlife agencies will receive $2,503,634.

Projects funded through SWG involve research, monitoring, wildlife surveys, species and habitat management and other activities.

SWG funds are administered by the Service’s Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program and are allocated to states and territories according to a congressionally mandated formula based on population and geographic area.

Grant funds must be used to address conservation needs, such as research, wildlife surveys, species and habitat management and monitoring identified within state wildlife action plans. The funds may also be used to update, revise or modify a state’s plan.
