Nongame Wildlife Conservation Fund
Contributions are used to ensure the conservation of nongame wildlife and their habitat in Idaho, to promote greater appreciation of wildlife, and to increase opportunities to view and enjoy "watchable" wildlife. Donations are used for a variety of projects including research on rare animals in an effort to better manage them so they dont become threatened or endangered, construction of nest boxes and platforms to provide more homes for wildlife, educational programs and community projects, development of wildlife viewing sites throughout the state, informational brochures, and a nongame wildlife leaflet series available to the public and used by teachers.
