Approximately $100 million available for wildlife habitat grants in Minnesota Council seeks funding requests for wide variety of programs that restore, protect and enhance Minnesota habitat

April 12, 2021 by Fillmore County Journal Leave a Comment

SAINT PAUL, MN, April 8, 2021 – The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) last week issued its annual Call for Funding Request from the Outdoor Heritage Fund. Approximately $100 million will be available for both metro and statewide grants to aid Minnesota habitat restoration, preservation and enhancement.

Requests are due to the LSOHC Thursday, May 27, 2021, at 4 p.m. The funds for approved programs signed into law during the 2022 legislative session will be available Thursday, July 1, 2022.

Since the Outdoor Heritage Fund’s creation in 2008, $1.2 billion in on-the-ground habitat programs has been recommended and over one million acres of Minnesota forests, prairies and wetlands have been restored, protected and/or enhanced. The latest set of recommendations for $127.8 million is currently before the Minnesota legislature.

The process is competitive and open to all who wish to apply. “These grants are focused on restoring, protecting and enhancing habitat for fish, game and wildlife,” said Mark Johnson, LSOHC Executive Director. “This beneficially impacts our natural resources of course, but it also enriches the lives of Minnesotans through a healthier, more accessible environment.”

Proposal requirements and terms of funding are outlined in the Call for Funding Request. To view details or learn more, visit www.lsohc.leg.mn/. For answers to specific questions, contact LSOHC Staff: www.lsohc.leg.mn/staff.
