Wildlife Education Grants
TOPIC
CATEGORY
Funds collected from game and fish law convictions never leave the county where the fire occurred. The money is used to fund educational programs focused on fish, wildlife and conservation in the counties where the offense occurred.
All fine money collected by the AGFC is redistributed by the Arkansas Economic Development Commission’s Division of Rural Services to school and conservation districts in the county where the violation occurred in accordance with Arkansas Coded Annotated 6-16-1101. A school or conservation district that wants to receive this fine money must apply online on the Division of Rural Services website linked below.
