Wildlife is one
of America's most treasured natural resources. Nearly 70 percent of this
Nation's wildlife habitat is interspersed over privately owned landscapes. For
over 60 years, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil
Conservation Service) has worked through 3,000 soil and water conservation
districts and other partners to assist landowners and managers with natural
resource problems and opportunities, including those associated with wildlife
habitat management.

The report was developed with assistance from current and
former members of the AWCC and former Wildlife Habitat
Management Institute (WHMI), as well as national NRCS biologists
and the NRCS Wildlife Team. Photographs in this report were
provided by the NRCS, as well as its partners and cooperators.
It was compiled by Iowa State University for the AWCC as part of
a CESU cooperative agreement with Extension Wildlife Programs. |

The NRCS AWCC, formerly WHMI, has held the premier of its new video Land of Life that highlights what America’s Farmers and Ranchers are doing to manage fish and wildlife habitat on their working lands. In addition to the video, there is a color booklet entitled, Our Living Land, that highlights examples of wonderful projects led by NRCS field personnel and our partners to help landowners get conservation
on America’s working lands.
