Grant Overview
Montana’s wildlife conservation education programs must demonstrate measurable gains in student knowledge of species listed under the state’s 2022 Species of Concern report. The grant supplies professional communications services that help grantees publicize field data and program results to ranchers, tribal governments, and state agencies. Success metrics center on documented increases in participation from schools in counties with populations under 10,000.
Youth in eastern Montana counties such as Carter, Fallon, and Powder River show participation rates 40 percent below western counties due to travel distances exceeding 120 miles to existing program sites. Organizations must therefore submit maps showing planned routes that reach at least three frontier counties per cohort. The communications package includes production of localized radio segments and print materials formatted for weekly newspapers that still serve those counties.
Unlike Colorado or Idaho applications, Montana requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation. Applicants must list specific Bureau of Land Management field offices and tribal natural resource departments that have agreed to host student presentations. The professional services component prepares briefing packets that meet the formatting standards of the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission.
State demographic data indicate that 48 percent of Montana residents live in counties without a four-year college; therefore, program communications must emphasize pathways that do not require relocation. Materials developed under the grant must reference actual county-level harvest statistics rather than generic regional trends. This requirement ensures the messaging remains usable by school districts operating on two-year budget cycles.
The grant’s service allocation is limited to organizations that already maintain at least one field station east of the Continental Divide, reflecting the state’s split between mountain and plains ecology.
