Background

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has grant funding available through the County Conservation Aids (CCA) program, specifically for the improvement of fish and wildlife resources under Wis. Stat. § 23.09(12). The CCA program is administered as a cost-sharing program, meaning the grant covers up to 50% of total project costs. The Land Resources and Environment Department plans to use the 2022 grant funds towards a prairie restoration project at White Mound County Park.
