To commemorate this milestone, the Atchafalaya Wild Grant Program has been established to award grants to eligible applicants seeking funding for projects that promote the conservation and/or appreciation of the natural resources of the ANHA. Funds may also be awarded to outdoor recreation projects that provide and/or promote access to the ANHA’s unique natural environment.
