Five Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Projects were completed in partnership with the Price County Land Conservation Department in 2007.  Working in conjunction with private land owners and the Price County Land Conservation Department, projects were completed on the Bennet, Gegenbach, Novak, Shreck and Stebnitz properties. 

These projects are within the Upper Mississippi River watershed in Price County, Wisconsin.  Wetland habitat restored on the projects totaled 35 acres.  Upland migratory bird nesting cover around the projects totaling 11 acres was also enhanced and protected through management plans. 

A PFWP Habitat Development Agreement was signed to protect the restored area of each project for a period of 10 years.  These wildlife habitat projects will benefit a host of species including mallards, wood ducks, blue-winged teal, northern harriers and Le Conte’s sparrows.  Partners on the projects included the Landowners and the Price County Land Conservation Department.
