Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners to restore and conserve fish and wildlife habitat. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program is not a traditional grants program, it is a direct federal assistance program. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed in collaboration and with substantial involvement from Partners for Fish and Wildlife field biologists. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program is delivered through more than 250 full-time staff, active in all 50 States and territories, who work directly with landowners to plan and implement projects based on priorities and geographic focus areas identified in regional strategic plans.
