Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Grant Opportunities
Purpose:
Partners for Fish and Wildlife is a national voluntary habitat restoration
program that provides financial and technical assistance to private landowners,
Tribes and other conservation partners. It focuses on restoring habitat for
migratory birds, anadromous fish, and declining plant and animal species.
Focus areas in eastern Washington and northern Idaho include shrub-steppe,
Palouse prairie, oak savannah, wetlands, riparian areas and streams.
Eligibility:
Any private, Tribal, or municipal landowner. Projects may not be implemented
on federal or state lands. Partnerships with other agencies or organizations
are encouraged to increase the leverage of funds. Cooperators sign an agreement
to retain restoration projects for at least 10 years and otherwise retain
full control of their land.
Area:
Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho
Typical Projects:
On-the-ground projects only. Typical projects include removal of invasive
species and replanting with native species, riparian and wetland restoration
including agricultural wetlands, and restoration of fish passage by removing
barriers.
Financial Information:
Project proposals are accepted anytime. The program strives for an equal match
of cost share or in-kind services.
Deadline: Applications will be accepted at anytime
