Rocky Mountain Rangelands Program

Applications are due by August 7, 2025.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is soliciting proposals through the Rocky Mountain Rangelands Program for projects that voluntarily conserve, restore and improve habitat in the Intermountain West. The program supports work in focal landscapes in the region to restore and conserve wildlife species associated with sagebrush, irrigated meadows and aquatic systems while conserving the phenomenon of large mammal migration. Priority considerations for this funding cycle include projects that promote innovations in grazing management that result in sustainable livestock production, enhanced wildlife habitat and improved ecosystem services including increasing carbon sequestration, as well as projects demonstrating innovative and strategic management of annual invasive grasses. There is dedicated funding available in Utah to facilitate implementation of conservation practices on working lands that will benefit wildlife and habitat by restoring, enhancing, and/or managing rangeland habitats. Projects in four geographic focal areas also receive preference.
