Proposal Submission Form

The major focus and measurable result of this effort will be an increased integration of 2002 Farm Bill conservation provisions to benefit wildlife.  This will be facilitated by implementation of a multi-state grant-in-aid program to assist local Soil Conservation Districts (SCDs) and sage-grouse working groups in integrating and evaluating the effects of conservation provisions of the 2002 Farm Bill on sagebrush-steppe obligate species.
