One final reminder: Conservation Grant Proposals for Birding Classic project funding due this Wednesday, May 1st by 9am!! ------------------------- The Great Texas Birding Classic (www.birdingclassic.org) is underway and teams will be competing until May 15th throughout Texas. As many of you know, winning teams help select which approved conservation, enhancement, restoration, and acquisition projects are funded with the money raised from registration fees and sponsorship of the event. This is where you come in - if you have a project that meets the Conservation Grant Project criteria (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/events/great-texas-birding-classic/prizes) then I want to hear from you. Project proposal deadline is coming up soon - all projects are due by 9am, Wednesday, May 1st!! Check the website above to see what projects will be considered and feel free to call or email if you have any questions. The Conservation Grant Proposal Form is available at the same site.
