The Request for Responses (RFR) for Cranberry Bogs and Coastal Wetlands restoration funding is now open!
The Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) has released a Request for Responses (RFR) for proposals for funding to advance early phase feasibility studies, project planning and design, and construction of both retired cranberry bog and coastal wetland restoration projects. The purpose of this funding is to support public and private entities engaged in the planning, design, and construction of restoration efforts to remove stressors that impair the function and resilience 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.

A Question and Answer period is currently open for interested applicants to submit questions in writing. Any questions must by submitted by September 9, 2024 at 4pm.
