Voluntary habitat restoration projects, customized to meet landowners' needs. Participating landowners continue to own and manage their land while they improve conditions for wildlife. Staff provide free technical and financial assistance to plan, design, supervise and monitor customized habitat restoration projects. These projects range in size from a wetland of a few acres to a grassland restoration covering several hundred thousand acres.

Many Partners for Fish and Wildlife projects take place on working landscapes such as forests, farms and ranches. We focus our efforts on areas of conservation concern, such upland forests, wetlands, native prairies, marshes, rivers and streams. We design projects to benefit federal trust species including migratory birds, endangered, threatened and at-risk species.
All private landowners interested in restoring wildlife habitat on their land are eligible to participate. Current partners include farmers, ranchers, forest landowners, recreational landowners, corporations, local governments and universities.
Priority goes to projects judged likely to provide habitat for rare, threatened and endangered species. Projects have a minimum duration of 10 years.

Participating landowners do not forfeit any property rights and are not required to allow public access.
