Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) assist state, tribal, territory, local government agencies and interstate/intertribal entities in developing or refining state/tribal/local programs which protect, manage, and restore wetlands. The primary focus of these grants is to develop/refine state, tribal, and territory wetland programs. A secondary focus is to develop/refine local (e.g. county or municipal) programs. Projects must be performed within one or more of the states or federally recognized tribes of EPA Region 7 specifically the geographic boundary of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and/or Nebraska to be eligible to apply for funding. In the case of inter-jurisdictional watershed projects, they must be primarily implemented in EPA Region 7.
