Urban Wildlife Habitat

The Coalition is currently asking the state legislature for $100 million for the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) in the capital construction budget.

WWRP Urban Wildlife Habitat grants fund the acquisition of fish and wildlife habitat within five miles of a densely populated area. Since 1990, the Coalition has secured $65 million for state grants for 77 Urban Wildlife Habitat projects.

Below are lists and a map of proposed and funded WWRP projects.
