FY 2008 National Wetland Program Development Grants
The Wetland Program Development Grant (WPDG) Program, initiated in FY 1990, provides applicants an opportunity to carry out projects to develop and refine comprehensive wetland programs.
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants for projects that support and build state/tribal/local government wetland programs.
All projects submitted for this competition must involve two or more states and/or tribes and/or benefit two or move states and/or tribes or be nationwide in scope.
Proposals submitted by applicants should, also, address one or more of the following three National Priority Areas of the WPDG Program:
