The Western Native Trout Initiative (WNTI) and partners have announced their 2023 Small Grants Program Request for Proposals. Approximately $25,000 in funding is available for projects that catalyze or accelerate smaller, high-impact efforts to restore or recover western native trout in the 12 western states that are WNTI's focus.

WNTI is an initiative of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and a recognized National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) that seeks to cooperatively restore and recover 21 western native trout and char species and subspecies across their historic range by funding efforts that raise awareness for the importance of native trout and focus limited financial and human resources toward the highest-impact, locally led, on-the-ground projects.
