DOI Cooperative Conservation Grants
To foster a Nation of citizen stewards, Secretary Norton is advancing a 4 C's philosophy -- conservation through communication, consultation and cooperation. The Department is expanding the tools in the conservation "toolbox" available to private land owners and federal land mangers to enhance and achieve conservation. These tools include grants funded through the Cooperative Conservation Initiative (CCI), which includes funds for Interior's highly successful Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, the Coastal Program, and Cooperative Conservation Challenge cost-share grants. The Private Stewardship Grant program and Landowner Incentive Program, founded on initiatives envisioned by President Bush when he was Governor of Texas, provide assistance to private land owners in their voluntary efforts to protect threatened, imperiled and endangered species. Here is a listing of the major grant programs available through the Cooperative Conservation Initiative.
