Federal Aid to State Fish and Wildlife Programs
In 2000 Wisconsin received:
- $8.2 million for sport fish restoration
- Wildlife Restoration Act funds were used to purchase the Simulated Action Firearms Education Training for Youth (SAFETY) system. This system is a high-tech, $120,000 simulator designed to provide realistic, real-time, hunting scenarios in a safe and controlled environment. The system is used for hunter education and safety courses
Lake Trout Are Back
Federal and state fishery biologists have concluded that native, naturally reproducing, lake trout populations have been restored to most U.S. waters of Lake Superior; and that the reduction of sea lamprey populations to five percent of pretreatment levels in U.S. waters of Lake Superior contributed significantly to the restoration
A Partnership for People, Wildlife and Energy
- The Green Bay Field Office is among 12 partners which negotiated a settlement agreement for six hydropower projects on the lower Chippewa River. The settlement will result in substantial benefits for fish and wildlife when implemented, including improved habitat, creation of a fish protection fund, and protection of endangered species. The agreement also will result in increased recreational opportunities for the public and ensure a secure source of energy for Wisconsin citizens
Wisconsin Gets $1.47 Million for Karner Blue Butterfly HCP
- Wisconsin was one of 10 states in 2001 to receive Service funds for land acquisition in support of Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) for endangered species. The grant complements the efforts being taken under the Wisconsin Statewide HCP to conserve and recover the endangered Karner blue butterfly. Funds will be used to purchase land totaling 1,073 acres near the Quincy Bluff and Wetlands State Natural Area in Adams County, and additional acreage in central Wisconsin. Sites being purchased have an excellent chance of supporting populations of the Karner blue and will be managed for the butterfly
