      Thanks for reaching out, Ms. Ellis.

      Please note that applicants need to submit their entire proposal to the regulatory agencies, either NBiO or Forest Department which would review the package and determine whether an endorsement letter is merited.

      If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know, or you can call our offices and ask to speak to a Conservation Program Officer.
