Anza-Borrego Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2025
Anza-Borrego Conservation Research Grants, which support student and
professional field studies in ecology, systematics, evolutionary biology,
and conservation biology within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and the
Colorado Desert region.


Two grants, each awarding $2,500 annually, are available:

   - Howie Wier Memorial Conservation Research Grant: For graduate students
   conducting field studies in the Colorado Desert and Peninsular Ranges.
   - Paul Jorgensen Conservation Research Grant: For graduate students,
   post-graduate researchers, or professionals, with priority given to
   research conducted within State Parks of the Colorado Desert District.


Funds may be used for travel, supplies, equipment, and other fieldwork
costs. Proposals will be evaluated for scholarly merit, project design and
feasibility, and contribution to the future of conservation in the region.


Application Deadline: December 15, 2025

Awards Announced: January–February 2025


We invite you to share this opportunity with students and colleagues who
may be interested in supporting their research through these grants.

Harold A. “Howie” Wier (1952-2001) was a native San Diegan and a lifelong
naturalist. He worked as a biological consultant and conservation biologist
throughout Southern California. He was active in the California Native
Plant Society, a past President of San Diego Audubon and a long-time member
of the Anza-Borrego Foundation. This grant program was established by
Anza-Borrego Foundation with the help of Howie’s family, friends and
colleagues as a fitting tribute to Howie’s passion.
Paul D. Jorgensen (1946-2012) was born in San Diego and spent his life
enjoying the diverse ecosystems of the region. He surfed the coast, studied
wildlife on the Channel Islands, managed the Tijuana National Estuarine
Sanctuary and worked as a State Park Resource Ecologist in the Colorado
Desert District of California State Parks. Paul was passionate about bird
research and restoring local ecosystems. This grant is given in his memory
as a fitting way to carry on his passion and legacy.
