Overview

Description:

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.

Projects are voluntary and customized to meet landowners’ needs. Participating landowners continue to own and manage their land while they improve conditions for wildlife.

Eligibility:

All private landowners interested in restoring wildlife habitat on their land are eligible to participate. Priority will be given to projects that provide the greatest value for priority species.

Projects have a minimum duration of 10 years.

Financial benefit: 

Cost-sharing for projects.
