Mission: To conserve, enhance, and restore
fish, wildlife, plants and their habitat by providing technical and
financial support to private and non-federal partners.
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program works with landowners
who wish to restore, enhance, or establish fish and wildlife habitats
on their lands.
Program Goals include:
- Implementing pro-active, voluntary, on-the-ground habitat restoration
project that benefit fish and wildlife habitat on non-federal lands.
- Providing technical assistance and promoting restoration partnerships
using internal and cooperating agency expertise.
- Conducting focused public outreach to increase the understanding
of fish and wildlife habitats while encouraging and demonstrating
conservation efforts.
How does the program work? Private, tribal, municipal,
borough, school, or other non-federal landowners are eligible for
restoration assistance from the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program.
Applicants can nominate potential projects, which are then refined,
ranked and funded at several intervals throughout the fiscal year
(October-September) by the US FWS. Project funding is typically limited
to $25,000 and matching project contributions are required. Phased
projects or collaboratively-funded projects are allowed. Please contact
the Juneau Fish & Wildlife Field Office for more program information
