Habitat Management Grant Webinar

MassWildlife’s Habitat Management Grant Program provides crucial financial assistance to improve habitat for wildlife, steward biodiversity, enhance climate resiliency, and promote outdoor recreation. Since 2015, the program has funded 125 projects that have restored over 4,900 acres of wildlife habitat. The timeline for MassWildlife’s Habitat Management Grant Program is changing, with a call for proposals coming later this spring. MassWildlife will hold a Habitat Management Grant Webinar on April 30th at Noon ET.

The Habitat Grant Program supports municipal and private landowners of conserved land to conduct habitat restoration and management activities that:

1. Improve habitat(s) for Species of Greatest Conservation Need, as identified in the 2025 Massachusetts State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), with emphasis on MESA-listed species.
2. Enhance habitat in ecological communities that are disproportionally susceptible to climate change.
3. Contribute to improving habitat in a landscape that is high priority for biodiversity conservation.
4. Promote access to nature and outdoor recreation opportunities, such as hiking, birding, fishing, hunting, and trapping.
