Noxious Weed Trust Fund Grant Program Accepting Applications

The Montana Department of Agriculture announces noxious weed grant funding is now available through the 2022 Noxious Trust Fund Grant Program.

Established by the 1985 Montana Legislature, the NWTF grants provide funding for noxious weed research projects, development projects, state and community education, and local cooperative - landowner cost share. Funding assistance is provided to counties, local communities, researchers, and educators to assist with their efforts to solve a variety of weed problems in Montana.

In 2021, more than $2 million was awarded to organizations in 54 counties and seven tribal nations across Montana.

Applicants may apply for funding up to $75,000 per project through WebGrants - Montana Grants and Loans. Deadline to apply is Jan. 6, 2022.

To learn more about these opportunities, visit the Noxious Weed Trust Fund website or contact Greta Dige, NWTF Program Coordinator, at 406-444-7882 or greta. dige@mt.gov.
