Urban Conservation Treaty
through education and habitat improvement strategies in urban areas.
Background One of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's newest and most exciting programs, the Urban Conservation Treaty for Migratory Birds, is an outreach program designed to address a sometimes overlooked area of bird conservation -- the need to work with cities to preserve habitat and educate citizens about birds in an urban environment. For details on the Urban Conservation Treaty for Migratory Birds Program, view the Urban Conservation Treaty for Migratory Birds Fact Sheet. (Fact sheet is in .PDF format; if you lack software to view it, you can download Free Adobe Acrobat Reader software.) How to Apply Due to lack of funding, we are not able to take new
applications for challenge-cost-shares at this time. We are still open to
future partnering with cities. We are currently looking for ways to put
City staff and Service personnel together to discuss opportunities for
Treaty Cities by utilizing partnerships and funding from outside sources.
