Hello Mass planners:<br>
<br>
The Town of Montague is interested in updating its 2015 Community Wildlife Protection Plan<<a href="https://montague-ma.gov/files/2015_Wildfire_Protection_Plan.pdf">https://montague-ma.gov/files/2015_Wildfire_Protection_Plan.pdf</a>>.
Does anyone know if there are any grant programs that could assist with this planning process and community engagement? Does anyone have a scope of services and project budget that you would be willing to share?<br>
<br>
Any guidance would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Maureen<br>
