Restoring Species and Habitats

There is great potential to restore species and their habitats on private, city, county, tribal, and other non-federal lands (referred to as private lands). Partners for Fish & Wildlife is a pro-active program that promotes voluntary participation by landowners and provides financial and technical assistance for planning and implementing habitat improvements on their property.

This program delivers on-the-ground habitat restoration projects that benefit federal trust species including migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, anadromous fish and marine mammals. Projects restore and enhance degraded habitat and, in some cases, create new habitat.

About the Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinates this program among a diversity of partners: private landowners, tribes, state and local governments, non-government organizations, corporations and educational institutions.
Program Guiding and Ranking Criteria

Oregon Strategic Plan

Partners for Fish & Wildlife recently completed a national strategic planning effort where each state identified geographic priority areas for program implementation. This planning effort was intended to optimize our program by identifying where in the landscape our financial and human resources will be strategically targeted during the next five years, and to provide technical assistance and funding for projects in the priority areas. Our goals are to: benefit declining anadromous fish and migratory birds; recover threatened and endangered species, and avoid the listing of candidate or at-risk species.
