About the Council

    In accordance with NAWCA (Pub. L. 101-233, 103 Stat. 1968, December

wetlands and associated uplands habitats for the benefit of all 
wetlands-associated migratory birds. Project proposal due dates, 
application instructions, and eligibility requirements are available on 
the NAWCA Web site at www.fws.gov/birds/grants/north-american-wetland-conservation-act.php.
