Each year, the MOU considers funding requests for bird-related projects. In 2011, awards included partial funding for the following projects: Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory's Peregrine Watch educational project in Duluth; Red-headed Woodpecker breeding success and habitat preference at Cedar Creek; bird-banding equipment replacement for Carpenter Nature Center educational banding program. Grant amounts ranged from $499 to $3,280.

Individuals or organizations who are undertaking projects in Minnesota that increase our understanding of birds, promote preservation of birds and their natural habitats, or increase public interest in birds, may submit grant applications to the MOU. Application information may be obtained at the MOU website, http://www.moumn.org/ (under Birding in Minnesota), or by emailing: grants AT moumn.org <mailto:gra...@moumn.org>

The deadline for receipt of grant applications is February 1, 2012. Funding recipients will be notified during April 2012.
