R8 (CA/NV) Wildlife Restoration Grant Program for State Fish and Game Agencies | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The R8 (CA/NV) Wildlife Restoration Grant Program for State Fish and Game Agencies (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00019) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.611, Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education. It is designed to provide ongoing federal support to state-level fish and wildlife agencies for core wildlife conservation and management responsibilities, with an emphasis on maintaining and improving wildlife resources and the public benefits tied to those resources. The program is geared toward states and eligible territories and is specifically framed here for the Region 8 footprint, which includes California and Nevada.

At its core, the program funds a broad set of activities that state wildlife agencies typically lead, ranging from on-the-ground habitat work to longer-term scientific management. Supported project types include the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat; wildlife management research; wildlife population surveys and inventories; and land acquisition when it supports wildlife restoration purposes. The scope also explicitly includes hunter education and safety programs, including coordination and the development of facilities, and the provision of facilities and services needed to conduct hunter education and safety. In addition, the program supports provisions that facilitate public use of wildlife resources, reflecting the dual purpose of conserving wildlife while ensuring the public can responsibly access and benefit from those resources.

This opportunity is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and falls under education and natural resources activity categories, which matches the program's combined focus on conservation delivery and hunter education. It is listed as a mandatory opportunity, which generally signals that it operates under a statutory formula or entitlement-style structure for eligible state agencies rather than a fully open, competitive process. The eligible applicant type is limited to state governments, meaning state fish and game agencies are the intended applicants and implementers.

A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so participating agencies should expect that federal dollars must be paired with non-federal match consistent with Wildlife Restoration program rules. The announcement metadata shows no stated award floor, award ceiling, or estimated total funding in the listing, which is common in formula-driven programs where amounts depend on apportionments, state plans, and approved project statements rather than a single fixed national pot tied to the notice.

Key dates in the listing include a posted date of January 19, 2012, a creation date of January 30, 2012, and an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, with an archive date of January 10, 2015. While the listing is archived, it still provides a clear picture of the program purpose, eligible uses, and administrative points of contact that would have been relevant during the open period, and it can serve as a reference point for understanding how Wildlife Restoration funding is structured for state agencies.
