Purpose - The Recovery Program within the Division of Listing and Recovery coordinates with federal, state, Tribal and private partners to restore habitat and recover listed species throughout Washington State. The Recovery Program also funds conservation actions that may preclude the need to list candidate species or keep species of concern from becoming candidate species.
Eligibility - Private landowners, non-governmental organizations, municipalities, Tribes, and state or federal agencies may submit proposals and compete for funding.
Area - Statewide
Typical Projects - On-ground actions, habitat restoration, education, outreach, research, and other activities that help recover endangered/threatened species, preclude the need to list candidate species, reduce threats to species of concern, or expand our knowledge about species of concern.
Financial Information - Funding availability will be announced mid-summer. Applicants must provide a 25% minimum cost share. Awards typically range from $5,000 to more than $20,000. Last year, we awarded over $750,000 to projects in Washington.

Area - Statewide/Regional

Minimum 25% non-federal cost share required (cash or in-kind). More than the minimum cost share increases a proposal's competitiveness.
