Via Tropical Wings:

Tropical Wings will award grants of up to $1,000 to individuals, businesses and organizations in the St. Croix River Watershed to preserve and restore bird habitat.

If you are interested in applying, please complete and return the 2021 Habitat Grant Application (PDF) by March 15, 2021. Grants will be awarded based on efforts that directly benefit migratory songbirds and their habitat.

Please return the grant application to info@tropicalwings.org OR mail to Tropical Wings, Inc., 2107 Chestnut Dr., Hudson, Wisconsin, 54016.

Tropical Wings is a non-profit 501c3 organization composed of volunteers supporting education and conservation for Neotropical Migratory birds through the Sister Parks Agreement between National Parks in the Upper Midwest and Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.

There are 55 species of birds that spend their summer months breeding in the St. Croix River Valley and the winter in Costa Rica. Of the 55 species, 19 are considered conservation priorities. The ruby-throated hummingbird is one example of such a “neotropical migrant.”
