The East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy is seeking out research proposals surrounding special status species and habitat management in a $30,000 grant program.
Announced Thursday, awarded projects would not only receive a two-year stipend, but also have access to the conservancy’s 14,000 acres of conserved lands in east Contra Costa County.
The conservancy hopes to fund projects that focus on habitat management uncertainties, like restoration techniques, ecological requirements of special status species and the habitat’s response to management actions.
Proposed projects will be accepted until July 27 at 5 p.m.
The request form is accessible via this link.

This 30K is just for the proposal? Great. I propose leaving Concord naval station property as a wildlife area and restock it with elk. Now, instead of paying me, put half of that money toward fixing the potholes in the roads and half toward a high fence to cover Seeno’s hideous monument to poor taste he built overlooking the freeway.
What about the possibility of a 400 lb elk wandering onto Highway 4 and getting hit by a car?
Before the Caldecott tunnel I see deer on both sides but a small chain link fence seems to keep them out.
I thought about the fence, but vandals are known for cutting holes in fences, and erecting a fence and stocking the weapons station with elk, and planting vegetation for food, will cost much more than half of the $30,000 you propose.
The Tule Elk lived there for decades without incident.
I believe they are seeking proposals for what to do with the $30K that will go toward the aims listed in the article.
