The U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) a Formula Grant of $858,580 under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027. This funding supports TPWD's Ecological and Environmental Planning Program (EEPP) in reviewing proposed development projects that may affect Texas' wildlife resources and associated ecosystems, providing environmental review comments and recommendations to protect these resources as directed by Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Section 12.0011.

Under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act authority, this grant enables TPWD to conduct comprehensive wildlife conservation activities including habitat restoration, wildlife management research, population surveys, and resource protection services. As the state's lead agency responsible for managing and conserving natural resources across diverse Texas ecosystems—from coastal marshes to desert regions—TPWD leverages this funding to coordinate environmental planning initiatives that support sustainable wildlife management and public recreational access while ensuring proposed development does not adversely impact the state's fish, wildlife, and habitat resources.
