Community Pond Program Grant Money Available

Groups or individuals interested in constructing or improving a community fishing pond have until Feb. 1 to apply for a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Community Pond Program grant. The Community Pond Program enhances public fishing opportunities in or near Montana communities by providing funding that can be used to construct or improve a public fishing pond. A total of $187,000 in grant funds is available for projects on ponds that offer public fishing opportunities. Past projects include building habitat structures, dock installations, pond dredging, ADA-accessible angling amenities and the purchase of aerators. Applicants must provide at least 30 percent of the total project cost, which can include contributions such as heavy equipment time, construction materials, labor, engineering services and more. Anyone wishing to sponsor a project may apply. Since 2003, the Community Pond Program has funded projects that benefit young anglers and their families by providing locations where individuals of all ages can learn angling skills. Additional information on the program, including a grant application form can be found at https://fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/grant-programs/community-pond. Applications, which are accepted each year, must be received on or before Feb. 1. Applicants are required to contact their local FWP fisheries biologist to obtain project support. For more information, contact Michelle McGree, FWP program manager, at 406-444-2432 or mmcgree@mt.gov.
