| Description: | This is a Notice of Intent to award a Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wildlife Management Institute to conduct New England Cottontail Restoration Planning in New England, to educate agencies, landowners, municipalities and decision makers on New England Cottontail (NEC) restoration efforts, and to build innovative partnerships to restore NEC populations and habitat. Many State, Federal and non-government organizations are working together to restore New England Cottontail. An overall restoration plan involving all agencies and NGOs involved in NEC restoration is needed to guide and coordinate efforts to ensure effective successful implementation and restoration. The goal of this effort will be a restoration plan that identifies priority focus areas where NEC conservation efforts will be implemented, appropriate conservation tools used, a large number of partners working together on NEC restoration and the mechanisms for tracking and communicating the status of on the ground habitat conservation efforts. The completed restoration plan will guide agencies, NGOs, municipalities and landowners to effectively target sites and apply the appropriate tools to implement and monitor New England Cottontail restoration efforts.
