MN DNR's Grant Program Awarded $3.7 Million For Fish and Wildlife Projects
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' new conservation grant program is awarding more than $3.7 million for 35 fish and wildlife projects.
One hundred and 27 applications totaling $16.5 million were received for the Conservation Partners Legacy grants.
Local, state and federal nonprofit organizations, along with governmental entities, were eligible to apply for grants ranging from $5,000 to $400,000.
The money comes from a voter-approved sales tax increase to pay for the outdoors and the arts.
The amendment to Minnesota's constitution passed in the 2008 election, raising the state sales tax by three-eighths of one percent starting in July.
