The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) a formula grant totaling $4,023,897 under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) for the period September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027. This grant provides general administrative functions necessary to coordinate approximately $40 million in annual wildlife conservation projects across TPWD, including funding apportioned under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and related wildlife and sport fish management programs.

The funded activities support on-the-ground wildlife conservation and habitat restoration efforts across Texas' diverse ecosystems through sound science and land stewardship practices. Key deliverables include wildlife research and management for species of greatest conservation need, endangered species recovery initiatives, invasive species monitoring and control, aquatic habitat restoration, fisheries population surveys and management, and recreational access programs. TPWD executes these projects through its network of 51 wildlife management areas and collaborates with academic institutions, conservation nonprofits, and other state and federal agencies to achieve landscape-scale conservation outcomes that benefit both wildlife resources and Texas' hunting and outdoor recreation heritage.
