Partners for Wildlife...

(Pintails, Courtsey USFWS)

Over two-thirds of our nation's land is privately owned and contains some of the most important fish and wildlife habitat in the United States. P FW program can help out by improving and protecting fish and wildlife habitat on private lands through alliances between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, other organizations, and individuals, while leaving the land in private ownership. PFW provides technical and funding assistance and project coordination in order to accomplish this objective.

 The Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was created in 1988 with the thought of providing technical and funding assistance to restore, enhance and/or create wildlife habitat on privately owned land. This is accomplished through voluntary enrollment in wide variety of programs which will benefit the needs of wildlife while being cost effective for landowners and their operations.
