The project focuses on managing facilities for the northeast ecological corridor natural reserve

This $150,000 Formula Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) supports the management of facilities for the Northeast Ecological Corridor Natural Reserve in Puerto Rico. These facilities are critical for conservation research and public access to recreational activities in the area. The grant will fund the operations and maintenance of these key infrastructure assets from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025, enabling the awardee, the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), to continue its efforts in environmental stewardship, wildlife conservation, and natural resource management across the Commonwealth.

These facilities are vital for conservation research and public access to recreational activities in the area.
