The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Act authorizes the Secretary of Interior to provide direct technical and financial assistance to private landowners interested in restoring, enhancing, and managing fish and wildlife habitats on their own lands. This announcement is not a solicitation for grant proposals. It is a goal of the program to secure at least 50 percent of project costs from non-Service sources, but this goal applies to the national program as a whole, and does not have to be achieved on a project-by-project basis. Funding above $25,000 for an individual project must be approved at the Washington Office level. If you are interested in pursuing a project under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program you must contact your local coordinator. A listing of coordinators by state is available at http://www.fws.gov/partners/contactUs.html
Eligible Applicants:
Private landowners, Tribal Governments, local governments, state governments, educational institutions and organizations. Contact your local Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program coordinator if you are interested in direct assistance with a habitat restoration project. A listing of state Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program coordinators is available at http://www.fws.gov/partners/contactUs.html.
