Partnerships and Habitat Restoration

Partnerships enable the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to accomplish its mission and balance its activities while increasing public awareness and participation in fish and wildlife conservation efforts. The strength of partnerships lies within their ability to unite varied parties in pursuit of shared resource objectives. Among the New Jersey Field Office's biggest partnership efforts are Partners for Fish and Wildlife, Farm Bill programs, Coastal Programs, and joint efforts with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. For example: Partners for Fish and Wildlife is a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service program directed at protecting and restoring important fish and wildlife habitats on non-federal lands through voluntary partnerships. Cost-sharing is an important program component. The program's main focus is wetland restoration, but the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service also pursues riparian and upland restoration. Individual citizens and groups looking to restore, enhance, or even create wildlife habitats can contact the New Jersey Field Office for more information.
