DNR Surface Water Grant Pre-Applications Due Sept 1, 2020

Wisconsinites have the opportunity to vie for funding to support projects that benefit lakes, rivers and wetlands. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources provides more than $6 million each year for surface water protection and restoration. 

“The surface water grant program supports a variety of projects to help achieve statewide surface water quality and habitat goals. If you are thinking about submitting a project, the time is now to reach out to your local lakes, rivers or AIS coordinator. They can review your pre-application and help you develop a competitive application.”

—Alison Mikulyuk, DNR Lakes and Rivers Team Leader
