Projects funded through the ATBC will advance the principles underlying the America the Beautiful Initiative, as described in the Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful Report: Pursue a collaborative and inclusive approach to conservation Conserve America’s lands and waters for the benefit of all people Support locally led and locally designed conservation efforts Honor Tribal sovereignty and support the priorities of Tribal nations Pursue conservation and restoration approaches that create jobs and support healthy communities Honor private property rights and support the voluntary stewardship efforts of private landowners and fishers Use science as a guide Build on existing tools and strategies with an emphasis on flexibility and adaptive approaches View More	Funder: National Fish and Wildlife Foundation	Area of Interest: Abandoned Mine Drainage, Agriculture, Engagement & Stewardship, Pathogens and Point Source, Stormwater, Watershed Land Protection	Eligible Region: United States - nationwide	Eligible Applicants: State government agencies, territories of the United States, and Indian Tribes2 are eligible to apply for all four grant categories.
