The 2006-2007 habitat restoration priorities of the Partners For Fish and Wildlife Program included:

1) Atlantic Coastal Systems, with a focus on tidal wetland restoration (primarily salt marsh) and adjacent upland habitats, and diadromous fish passage through restoration of tidal flows, dam removal, or installation of fish passage structures;

2) New England Streams with a focus on removing barriers to upstream passage for diadromous fish, e.g. dam removal, culvert replacement/retrofit , installation of fish passage structures, and ;

3)Control of non-native invasive species and management of early successional habitats to benefit trust resource species, e.g. invasive species control control/grassland restoration to benefit the listed American Burying Beetle and invasive species control/early successional habitat restoration to benefit the New England Cottontail.
