Federal Highway Administration’s Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program
The Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program is a competitive grant program with the goal of reducing Wildlife Vehicle Collisions (WVCs) while improving habitat connectivity for terrestrial and aquatic species. Funding was appropriated through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Funding is available for construction and non-construction projects. Primary selection criteria are: 1) reduction of WVCs and 2) improvement of terrestrial and aquatic habitat connectivity. Secondary criteria taken into consideration include: 1) leveraging of non-Federal contributions; 2) support of economic development and visitation opportunities; 3) incorporation of innovative technologies; 4) provision of educational and outreach opportunities; and 5) incorporation of monitoring and research.

Guidance Tool
Level of Effort:
Climate Action Tool
The 2025 expansion of the Climate Action Tool (CAT) allows you to:
1) Access information on climate impacts and vulnerability of species and habitats; and
2) Explore adaptation strategies and actions, related to connectivity, conservation planning, and forestry, among other relevant areas.
This tool was developed by the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment.

CT DEEP Long Island Sound Ecosystems Grant
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s (DEEP’s) Land and Water Resources Division requests proposals for the new CT DEEP Long Island Sound Ecosystems Grant, made possible by financial support provided by the Long Island Sound Partnership from the U.S. EPA. There are two primary goals of the program: 1) to promote large-scale habitat restoration and enhance restoration planning, while also helping coastal communities and ecosystems adapt to changing environmental conditions; and 2) to further promote the application of green stormwater infrastructure techniques to reduce nonpoint source pollution, improving water resource quality.
There is approximately $7 million available, and no match is required. Eligible projects include: 1) Habitat Restoration (planning/engineering/design and construction for habitat restoration projects); and 2) Green Stormwater Infrastructure (planning/engineering/design and construction for green stormwater infrastructure projects).
