One of the largest of the
joint ventures, the INTERMOUNTAIN WEST JOINT VENTURE,
stretches from Canada to Mexico with focus areas in eleven western states.
Each state has designated locations where wetland and/or riparian areas are of prime
importance. This joint venture has successfully been organizing and building on the concept
that broad partnerships can generate the financial resources necessary to restore
thousands of acres of wetland habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, wading birds and song
birds.
