The program provides financial assistance to States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to plan and implement projects for benefit of a diverse array of wildlife and associated habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. It also fulfills unmet needs of wildlife within States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories that includes wildlife education and recreation activities.

A - Formula Grants

Agencies from the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa with primary responsibility for fish and wildlife conservation may submit grant proposals to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. To be eligible, they must pass assent legislation to the provisions of the Act for the conservation of wildlife that includes a prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by hunters for any other purpose than the administration of the fish and wildlife agency. In addition, the States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories must have an approved comprehensive plan as described by the Appropriations Act.

General Public: While direct participation is limited to fish and wildlife agencies, the public will ultimately benefit from these wildlife conservation measures.
