Special Announcement - NEW GRANT
Fall color riparian area
EPA Region 8 is now accepting applications for the Wetland Program Development Grants.
Apply on Grants.gov by April 20, 2026, at 9:59 P.M. MT
Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) assist state, Tribal, territory (Insular
Areas), local government agencies, and interstate or intertribal entities in developing or
refining state, Tribal, territory or local programs that protect, manage and restore wetlands.
The goals of the EPA’s wetland program include increasing the quantity and quality of
wetlands in the U.S. by conserving and restoring wetland acreage and improving wetland
condition. In pursuing these goals, the EPA seeks to develop the capacity of all levels of
government to develop and/or refine effective, comprehensive programs for wetland
protection and management. This is done using the Core Elements of a Wetlands Program,
the Wetlands Program Core Elements Framework and, for states and Tribes, the
development of Wetland Program Plans (WPP).
WPDGs can fund activities that build capacity for Wetland Programs such as
Wetland Program Plan development or refinement
Mapping and monitoring
