West Virginia Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund Starts Accepting Grant Applications

The West Virginia Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund is accepting applications until May 31 for large and small grants. The fund can award up to $750,000, with $100,000 for small grants.

They will use the Eligibility Assessment to determine if the project is eligible for funding. Applicants must read the Technical Assistance Manual for the grant program and the application requirements and complete the Grant Application. The current forms and applications are available online here.

The Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund Board of Trustees will make grant selections by July 6.

The West Virginia Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund protects lands that host the state’s wild and wonderful natural resources. This work is guided by an 11-member Board of Trustees, drawn from land trusts; the Division of Forestry; the Division of Natural Resources; outdoor recreation and sportsmen’s groups; and the professions of biology, ecology, forestry, and public health.

Its land-protection projects could include vital habitats for wildlife, working forests, farmlands, fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation areas.
