Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) Volunteer Program
BackThe Volunteer Cooperative Projects Grant Program is a competitive grant process intended to provide monetary support for qualifying volunteer organizations and individuals who want to undertake activities which are beneficial to fish and wildlife across the state of Washington and must be available to the public. Cooperative Project Types Generally speaking, there are five major types of projects which are undertaken by volunteers. However, we are also open to considering "Other" types of projects, if an applicant can make a persuasive argument in his/her application that such an activity will benefit Washington's fish and wildlife, provide additional public opportunity or satisfy a public need. - HABITAT PROJECTS include activities to restore and/or preserve the life sustaining conditions for fish, game and non-game wildlife species. Such projects may occur on private property if there is a reasonable expectation of a public benefit resulting from the effort. - RESEARCH PROJECTS include activities with the goal of increasing our knowledge of fish and wildlife species, their numbers, distribution, habits and movement. The results of Cooperative Projects-funded Research Projects are to be made available to the public. - EDUCATION PROJECTS are those volunteer activities which have the goal of communicating information and experience which will enhance public understanding of natural processes affecting fish and wildlife. - FACILITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS are those which enhance access to fish and wildlife recreation and the development of additional capacity for rearing salmon, trout and warmwater species which will then become available for recreational and commercial exploitation by the public, including tribes. - ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION PROJECTS have the goal of rearing and releasing fish or wildlife for the use and enjoyment of the public.
