Funding

The West Michigan Conservation Network (WMCN) receives funding to support its mission from a number of different grants including a Michigan Invasive Species Grant Program through the Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Quality and Agriculture and Rural Development as well as funding from the United States Forest Service.

Additionally, revenue earned from WMCN workshops and events provides funds for WMCN educational materials and other special projects. There is not a membership fee to join the WMCN.
Following are the grants, present and past, that provide financial resources for our educational and invasives management work.
