Cranberry Bogs & Coastal Wetlands Restoration Grant

The Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) supports restoration projects that bring significant ecological and community benefits to the Commonwealth. The DER Cranberry Bogs and Coastal Wetlands Restoration Grant is a funding opportunity to support and advance these projects. 

DER is seeking proposals to advance the early phase feasibility, project planning, preliminary design, and construction of retired Cranberry Bog and Coastal Wetland Restoration Projects. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support public and private entities engaged in restoration efforts to remove stressors that impair the function and resiliency of wetland and stream habitats. 

This opportunity for funding covers two Restoration Project Categories: 1) Cranberry Bog Restoration, and 2) Coastal Wetland Restoration Projects.  
 
For each Restoration Project Category, there are two possible Funding Types: 1) Planning & Design, and 2) Construction.

Eligible applicants for both Restoration Project Categories include any state, regional, or municipal organization, non-governmental agency, and public or private entity that either owns or has the authority to represent the owner of the proposed restoration project site. In addition, to be eligible for the Construction Funding Type, the proposed project must be an existing DER Priority Project.
