Restoring Species
and Habitats
There is great potential to restore trust species
and their habitats on private, city, county, tribal, and other
non-federal lands (referred to as private lands). The
Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program is pro-active
and promotes voluntary participation by providing landowners
with the financial and technical assistance necessary to plan
and implement habitat improvements on their property.
This program delivers on-the-ground habitat
restoration projects on private lands to benefit federal
trust species: migratory birds, threatened and endangered
species, anadromous fish and marine mammals. Projects
restore and enhance habitat that has been degraded and,
in some cases, may create new habitat.
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.
Oregon Strategic Plan
 The
Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program recently completed a national
strategic planning effort where each state identifies geographic
priority areas for program implementation. This planning
effort is 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. Our focus
will be to provide technical assistance and funding for projects
in the priority areas to achieve benefits for our Trust
Resources. The Trust Resources consist of anadromous
fish, declining migratory birds groups, the recovery of threatened
and endangered species, and precluding the listing of candidate
or at-risk species.
