<br />Special outreach efforts to the individual state fish and game agencies are a routine <br />part of Program advertisements. The Program began in 1994 with an interagency <br />meeting of representatives of the state resource management <br />departments/agencies to describe the goals of the Program and invite applications <br />for funding. Most states designated agency coordinators who interact regularly with <br />Program staff. These interagency communications ensure that state fish and game <br />agency mitigation goals and objectives are represented in the Program. <br />Continuous efforts are made to ensure the widest possible distribution of program <br />application materials. An extensive mailing list of potential grant recipients ensures <br />widespread distribution of Program solicitations. Private entities such as native <br />plant societies, land trusts, and citizen fishing/hunting groups make up a substantial <br />portion of the mail list. <br />Appendix D is an example of the solicitation letter used during 1994-1998 to guide <br />applicants in the preparation of project proposals. <br />
