The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded $126,837 in formula grant funding under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, effective July 1, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2027. The award comprises $93,000 in federal funding and $33,000 in state matching funds. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources sub-awarded the grant to the Ettrick Rod and Gun Club, a privately owned shooting range open for public use, to support renovation and infrastructure improvements.

The sub-award encompasses two primary deliverables: completion of accessibility improvements and replacement of trap houses. These projects are designed to enhance safety and improve overall range infrastructure at the facility. As a formula grant supporting state-level wildlife management and hunter safety initiatives under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, this award aligns with the program's mandate to fund shooting range development and maintenance that supports hunter education and safety training objectives.
