Partners for Fish and Wildlife
Would you like to see more birds, mammals and other wildlife on your land? If you answered yes, then the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program may be just right for you. Partners for Fish and Wildlife is a national program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By forming partnerships with private landowners, conservation groups, and other government agencies, the program protects and restores important fish and wildlife habitats. It is a voluntary program that builds on the strengths of many committed individuals and organizations to accomplish common goals.
TARGETS
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife program has targeted priority areas including: farmed or drained wetlands, drained vernal (spring time) ponds, riparian habitats, native grasslands, salt marshes, and upland communities.
The Service will consider any non-federal land for inclusion in the Partners program, regardless of size, provided the project meets the goals and guidelines of the program. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife program can provide interested landowners with biological expertise and funding; in return, landowners sign an agreement (with attached site management plan) that the habitat will remain in its restored condition for at least 10 years (agreements for 20 years or longer are preferred).
By strengthening existing partnerships and developing new ones to protect, enhance, and restore natural areas, the Partners program benefiits fish and wildlife. The commitment by private landowners and other partners is essential for success. The Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife staff looks forward to working with you to restore fish and wildlife resources!
